The New Fairfield Republican Town Committee will have at least three candidates to select from when it comes to their nomination for First Selectman.  Former First Selectmen John Hodge and Susan Chapman are seeking the nomination.  The Republican Town Committee chair says another person, who has not publicly announced their intention, is interested in running.  Chapman told the Newstimes she is running to curtail spending and growing town government.  The budget for this new fiscal year includes a new Public Works position, overnight EMTs, a school resource officer and school safety dispatcher.  Democrat First Selectman Pat Del Monaco said in the published report that much of the spending is for things in the interest of public safety. Hodge served as First Selectman from 2005 to 2013 and Chapman served from 2013 to 2017.
