Former Selectman David Bayne was elected chairman of the Darien Democratic Town Committee at its meeting last Thursday. Maribeth Sears was elected treasurer, and Elizabeth Hall, secretary. “This is an exciting time to be a Democrat,” Bayne said. “The Presidential campaign on the Republican side is in utter chaos with their front runner being unpalatable to many Republicans and unfathomable to most Democrats. “Our goal is to unite Democrats, Independents and willing Republicans around a national, state and local ticket in November that reflects the values of Darien’s voters through thoughtful and pragmatic leadership.” “I urge Darien’s voters to contact Darien’s Democrats to be a part of the solution to the bitterness that has overwhelmed us all.”
Darien Democrats held a party caucus Tuesday to elect members of the party’s Town Committee in what appears to have been a much less contentious event than the Republican’s caucus of the night before. Members were elected for a two-year term beginning in March. The caucus endorsed these 12 members, all of whom had been endorsed by the current town committee:
David Bayne — 5 Windsor Rd. Christine Castles — 15 Dubois St. Sharod Samy — 32 Old Oak Road
Frank Adelman — 3 Harriet Lane East
Charles Baldwin — 23 Edgewood Road
Pamela Sparkman — 283 West Ave.
Darien Democrats will caucus on Tuesday, Jan. 12 to elect candidates for the Democratic Town Committee, and if you’re interested in being on that panel, contact David Bayne or Frank Adelman. The caucus starts at 8 p.m., Tuesday in the Auditorium at Town Hall, 2 Renshaw Rd. The Republican Town Committee has scheduled the Republican Caucus for the night before (Monday, Jan. 11, at 7:30 p.m.) at the same location.
