Editor's Note: We asked all candidates on the ballot to send us biographical information to be used online - we submitted the questionnaires to their respective town committees. Some sent us exactly what we asked for, while others sent the same information that they sent to the Citizen's News, a weekly paper owned by Maitland Publishing Inc. We are publishing what we have received from them. If you are a candidate and your information does not appear on the site, it's because I did not receive it. We are posting these one at a time over the weekend. If you are a candidate and still want to add your information to Naugatuck Patch, add it by clicking here (a link to our "Speak Out" section) and following the instructions.
