The Farmington Democratic Party has endorsed twenty candidates for the upcoming Municipal Election on November 7. Leading the ticket will be Rafeena Bacchus Lee, a member of the Town Council, who is now running for Town Council Chair. Lee is a longtime Farmington resident with a proven track record of major community involvement. An attorney and mother of three students in the Farmington Public Schools, Lee has co-chaired both Comprehensive FHS and the Farmington Funds Advisory Committee of the Hartford Foundation For Public Giving. She also serves on the boards of the Hill-Stead Museum and The Friends of Farmington Crew. “I am honored and proud to lead this remarkable slate of candidates, all of whom are committed to ensuring Farmington remains a town with well-functioning institutions and opportunities for all our residents to thrive,” Lee said. “We have seen a lot of change in the past few years. To navigate the challenges ahead, we will need a balance of experience and fresh thinking. Our slate is dedicated to collaboratively engaging with the community to analyze the issues facing our town and to develop and implement workable solutions.”
