From schools to finances, safety to the environment, re-elect our Democratic leaders to deliver expertise, integrity, and results.
Vote Row A
Our town is a rare and special place. While the world beyond is chaotic and divided, our community is safe, welcoming, and grounded in values of respect and neighborliness. Ridgefield’s Democratic leadership makes that happen every day.
Ridgefield schools are among the best in the state. To keep them strong and growing, we need Kathryn Graf, Scott Sigel, Angela Rice, and Tina Malhotra on the Board of Education. Strong schools attract new families and boost property values, and our team brings unmatched expertise and personal investment. As parents, professionals, educators, and leaders, Graf, Sigel, Rice, and Malhotra will deliver innovation, responsible budgets, community outreach, and steady leadership.
Ridgefield’s finances are managed impeccably. Re-elect Board of Finance Chair Mike Rettger and Andrew Okrongly, experts in finance, risk management, and strategic planning. They will continue the Board’s proven track record of delivering high-quality services while keeping tax rate growth below inflation and preserving Ridgefield’s AAA bond rating.
Ridgefield is one of the safest towns in America. Expanding Democratic leadership on the Board of Police Commissioners will ensure safety and protection for every resident. Current Chair Sharon Dornfeld and Stephen Riebling bring legal expertise, ethical leadership, and decades of public service. They are committed to strengthening the bond between residents and police through accountability, transparency, and compassion.
Ridgefield’s natural resources are in good hands with our Democratic-led Inland Wetlands Board. Re-elect Noah Berkowicz, Keith Carlson, and David Smith, passionate conservationists and professionals who balance thoughtful growth with safeguarding our ecosystems. Thanks to their leadership, Ridgefield’s water quality and treasured landscapes remain protected.
It’s never been more important to vote in our local election. When early voting begins on October 20th, Vote Row A all the way to keep Ridgefield the extraordinary place we are proud to call home.
Arny DiLaura is a 16 year resident of Ridgefield and the Chair of the Ridgefield Democratic Town Committee.
