First Selectman Gordon Joseloff
Former Board of Education chairman Jim Marpe has already announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination. State Representative Jonathan Steinberg and Board of Finance vice chair Helen Garten are rumored to be mulling runs on the Democratic ticket.
There will be more names floated, for sure. Some might even run.

Please stick to this topic: Who you’d like to see as 1st selectman, and why. Feel free to talk about any Westporters who’d make good leaders — but please do not talk smack about previous ones. Let’s keep this discussion focused on the future.
