HARWINTON - Prominent state officials Sunday joined with the Democratic Town Committee at the home of first selectman hopeful Frank Chiaramonte to give their official endorsements. Chiaramonte was joined by his running mate, Sandra Davis.
Democratic Committee Chairman Myrna Watanabe began the talks by recognizing former Harwinton First Selectman Lloyd Shandey, who died recently and was a fixture in town government.Watanabe went on to introduce the day’s guests, Lt. Gov. Kevin Sullivan, State Comptroller Nancy Wyman, and Attorney General Richard Blumenthal. Audrey Blondin, current chairman of the Democratic state central committee, continued to receive support from her fellow Democrats in her run for Secretary of the State."Grassroots Democrats, grassroots government is the most responsive type of leadership, day in and day out," Sullivan said. "We will do anything we can to help out the Harwinton Democratic party."Wyman spoke next, stressing the impact that small, local government has on the everyday lives of citizens, and the immense responsibility that town government has to its residents."We have a chance this year, we have a very good chance," Wyman said. "We’re ready to take back the town for the people of this town. The local level is the most important level. It is also the hardest job in state politics, because you see the people every day, at the grocery store. We’re looking for a big victory in 69 days." Blumenthal, who recently filed a suit against the federal government for lack of funds to the federal mandate No Child Left Behind, said that accountability in government, although not always iron-clad near the top, could make a strong example with the integrity of a smaller town’s leadership."This is the year, the year where there can be a shift, a fundamental paradigm shift in the quality of government in Harwinton," Blumenthal said. "These are two people that are known, accomplished, and respected, and can bring integrity and intelligence to the voters."Sandra Davis, who is running for town selectman with Chiaramonte, said that the issue of integrity struck a chord in her."I think integrity is very important to our whole team," Davis said. "We have a group of people that believe in accountability and responsibility."Robert Cyr can be reached by e-mail at litchfield@registercitizen.com.
