Democrats Perkins, Tierney To Battle It Out
Republican Mike McLachlan will have to wait until August 13th to see who his Democratic opponent will be. Terry Tierney has announced that he has collected the 615 necessary signatures in order to force a primary against Councilman Duane Perkins.
Perkins was nominated by the Democrats in May. He has the support of many high ranked Democratic officials, such as former Congressman Jim Maloney and Danbury Democratic Town Committee Chairman Joe DaSilva.
Tierney however feels that he is best prepared to lead and has the knowledge to address the challenging issues we face. The primary will be held on August 12th. Perkins would appear to be the front runner based on the fact that he was nominated, but Tierney is known in Danbury. It may be the other towns of Bethel, New Fairfield, and Sherman that truly decide who will have the chance to face McLachlan. This should be fun to watch!
