All Greater Danbury area incumbents had been reelected last month to their state General Assembly seats. There was an open position in the 108th House district of New Fairfield. Representative-elect Patrick Callahan is set to be sworn-in at the State Capitol on January 6th. The Republican has been appointed to 3 committees--the Education, Environment, and Judiciary Committees. Callahan is currently capping a 30-year career within Connecticut's Judicial Branch, as a chief Probation Officer. He also chaired the Candlewood Lake Authority for a decade. Callahan says the work of the Education Committee has been critical to area students and wants the state to provide them access to the academic tools, both in-person and virtual, that they need to be successful in the classroom and beyond. The district also includes Danbury, New Milford and Sherman.
