SHERMAN — A town resident who says she has a passion for Candlewood Lake and a commitment to fairness and justice is looking to be the next representative in Connecticut’s 108th House District.
Sherman resident Anne Weisberg was unanimously endorsed to run as the Democratic candidate for the House seat, the Sherman Democratic Town Committee recently announced on Facebook.
“I know what it takes to win,” Weisberg said in a video message played during a May 15 nominating convention at the Sherman Senior Center, according to the DTC.
She is the second Democrat from Sherman to challenge incumbent Republican Patrick Callahan for the 108th House District, which includes Sherman, and parts of New Fairfield, Danbury and New Milford.
Callahan, a longtime New Fairfield resident who worked in law enforcement for nearly 30 years, secured a second term after defeating Sherman resident Jeff Ginsburg in the 2022 election. Callahan announced his plans to run for a third term in office earlier this year.
On Jan 10, 2024, the caucus unanimously endorsed the nominated members for the Sherman Democratic Town Committee for the term Mar 2024 – Mar 2026.
All Sherman Voters registered as a Democrat or are Independent are welcome to attend the caucus and monthly meeting of the Sherman Democratic Town Committee. The caucus will endorse members and candidates for the Sherman Democratic Town Committee and transact other business as may be proper to come before the said caucus.
These events will occur on WEDNESDAY, Jan 10, 2024, at 7:30 pm at Charter Hall, Sherman Emergency Services Facility 1 Route 39, Sherman, CT.
