A Bethel Republican candidate's campaign sign has been vandalized.  A large sign for First Selectman candidate Pat Rist, which is on Route 53, was spray painted with profane language.  Rist issued a statement on Facebook saying that she doesn't condone what she called the disgraceful behavior, whether it is her sign or her opponent’s sign.  Rist said that Bethel is a better community than this and being disrespectful to each other and property is not acceptable.
