Three candidates have returned petitions to be on the November ballot as independent candidates for first selectman, and a candidate who bid for the GOP nomination for selectman has also returned petitions. There also may be a GOP primary, if one candidate — Joe Warren — who asked for petition forms returns them by the deadline. Warren lost his bid in the Republican Caucus to be the party’s endorsed candidate for a seat on the Board of Selectmen. Rob Werner, Joe Miceli and Chris Noe have all returned signed petitions to be candidates for first selectman, challenging incumbent Jayme Stevenson, who has the Republican nomination. Miceli is a former member of the Board of Selectman; Werner and Noe have run for office before.

The Darien Democratic Caucus on Tuesday night put forward no candidate for first selectman or any other elected executive post in town government, but did endorse Robert Richards and Marc Thorne for Board of Selectmen. The meeting, which started shortly after 8 p.m., drew a total of 21 Democrats and made its endorsements without any dissenting votes or objections. Kevin Cunningham was endorsed for another term on the Planning & Zoning Commission and Diana Maguire, already a member of the Board of Finance, for a new term on that board. Likewise, Katherine Stein was endorsed for another term on the Board of Education. The party did not put up any candidates to contest seats with the Republicans.
