Democracy for Connecticut Endorsement

At its September monthly meeting at the Silver Star Diner, the Fairfield County Chapter of Democracy for America (DFA) endorsed my at large run for Norwalk’s Common Council. Mary and I were two of the four original members who met at the Silver Star in March, 2003, to found the Fairfield County chapter of what was then Dean for America.

When Howard Dean abandoned his bid for the presidency, I stepped aside as MeetUp coordinator in favor of John Hartwell, and Dean for America evolved into Democracy for America. Democracy for America is now a political action committee dedicated to supporting fiscally responsible, socially progressive candidates at all levels of government—from school board to the presidency. DFA fights against the influence of the far right-wing and their radical, divisive policies and the selfish special interests that for too long have dominated our politics. DFA has a long-term goal to rebuild the Democratic Party from the bottom up.

The Fairfield County chapter meets at the Silver Star Diner on the first Wednesday of every month.
