“I am honored that my campaign for mayor of Stamford has received the endorsement of the Republican Town Committee, and I am deeply grateful for their support,” Fedele said in a statement. “This race is critical to Stamford’s future. I am working very hard every day to get my message before the voters of our city – and I look forward to leading a united Republican Party to victory on Election Day.”
Fedele beat out current Board of Education member Jerry Pia, 21-16. Pia plans on petitioning and running in a primary against Fedele.
“I have said from the beginning of my campaign that ‘God has a Plan!’ I guess that plan is to let the people of Stamford decide who shall be the next Mayor,” Pia said in a statement. “Being mayor of the city of Stamford was my dream since I became Board of Education president in 1990. I think of how many more helpful I could be…for everyone in our city…EVERYONE…as our mayor.”
For the Board of Finance, the committee endorsed current member Gerald Bosak, Joseph Sargent and current City Rep. Salvatore Gabriele.
Running for the Board of Education will be current member Jonathan Leydon, former member Nicola Tarzia, and Gene D’Agostino, who will be on the ballot as a place holder until another candidate is found.
