Dominic DeCarlo
for Constable |
I have lived in Windsor for 25 years and have been married to my wife Sue for over 30 years. Our two daughters were born and raised in Windsor and went through the Windsor public school system. When we relocated to Windsor, we did not know anyone in town, so wanting to serve the community, I joined the Windsor Volunteer Fire Dept. (Poquonock) where I am still active today.
I worked in management for McDonald’s Corporation and Walmart for 15 years. For the past 17 years I have worked as a full-time firefighter and I am an Instructor for the Connecticut Fire Academy. I currently serve as the treasurer for the Poquonock Fire Company. I previously served on the Conservation Commission for the town of Windsor and I currently serve on the Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Commission and the Board of Assessment Appeals for the town. After serving on several commissions for the town, I decided I would like to become even more involved in my community. I believe the Constable position would be a good entry point into learning more about the operations of the town. |
Lynn Orr-Walker
for Board of Education |
I am excited and honored to be chosen as a Republican candidate for the Windsor Board of Education. I have lived in Windsor for four years. I am married to Len Walker, and we have four adult children and six grandchildren. We attend the First Cathedral.
I was born and raised in Massachusetts. I attended and graduated from High School in Springfield Mass. I also attended one year at University of New Hampshire. I have had a long career in banking. I now work in Human Resources at Freedom Credit Union in Springfield Massachusetts. I have had the experience of interacting with the schools for my children and helping with homework for my grandkids. I am very concerned about our children’s education. I believe we must pay attention to what is being taught in our schools, and parents have a right to be informed of decisions involving their children’s education. I look forward to the opportunity to work with all the Board of Education members, and the Superintendent of Windsor Public Schools to encourage teaching every child to their full potential. I believe all children have the potential to make significant contributions to improve life in their communities and beyond. In order to do these things, our children must have a strong academic foundation. I want to be a catalyst for encouraging academic growth in our schools. Children should leave our schools with the basic skills to live independently. As a Windsor taxpayer, I want to make sure our tax dollars are being spent on improving the education of our kids. |
Sophia Tetteh
for Town Council |
I am honored to have been chosen as a candidate for Town Council by the Windsor Republicans. Currently I am in the Health Care industry as a Regional Clinical Nurse Specialist and am also working on my PhD as a step to becoming ordained as a minister. I have the organizational skills to work with a large budget, and to work with diverse people. I have worked with and written company policies and procedures and organized systems to enhance standards.
Town Councilors have a responsibility to promote public safety and take care of our roads and buildings. The Council must be fiscally responsible with taxpayers at all times. With the upcoming re-evaluation this becomes more important than ever. I have been a resident of Windsor for the past four years where I live with my daughter. I am also excited to be getting married next year. I have gone through a near death experience with Covid-19 in 2020 and had to learn to walk again through extensive therapy, it has taught me to appreciate who God is to me, and the simpler things in life. I was born in Jamaica but grew up and attended school in New York State. My heritage includes relatives from India. We appreciate and respect the immigration process. We value and respect the many opportunities given to us to excel at many levels in the United States of America in jobs, education, and as business owners. I am a single mother who raised my daughter while working many jobs to pay the bills. I taught my daughter how to live within our means, and how to achieve success through education. Today, my daughter is a successful and contributing member of our Windsor community. My education includes: IBA for Theology (Currently working on my PhD), University of Maryland Eastern Shore for Pre-med, Biology, and Capital Community College for Nursing. I have been in the health care profession for 19 years and have worked in many levels of the healthcare industry across the continuum of care. I have worked in hospital settings in the ICU, and have worked as a Hospice Nurse, as a Supervisor, Nurse Manager, as a SALSA for Assisted Living, and as a Director of Nursing and now a Regional Clinical Nurse Specialist. In the community I am active with The First Cathedral, and the West Indian Community. I look forward to working with other Town Council members and know that our teamwork is essential to the success of Windsor. I am a Jamaican immigrant, and as an American Citizen I am honored to pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all, and am grateful for the opportunities this country has provided for me. |
