Dear Mr. Campo,
Please be informed that the Waterford Republican Town Committee submits the following slate
of candidates to fill the vacancy created by the December resignation of RTM District 3
Representative Jennifer Bracciale:
Kathleen Elbaum
6 Gilead Rd.
Waterford, CT
Harry Colonis
35 Paula Ln.
Waterford, CT
Mike Elbaum
6 Gilead Rd
Waterford, CT
While the WRTC believes all three individuals are well qualified to serve the remainder of the
term that ends in December 2027, Kathleen Elbaum is the preferred candidate for this position.
As a former member of the BOE, she would appreciate the opportunity to serve our community
through service on the RTM.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this request.
Sincerely yours,
Tali Maidelis
WRTC Chairman
Ce: Susan Driscoll, RTM Moderator
