Fairfield, CT For Immediate Release
The CT Secretary of State’s office has confirmed that Matthew Hallock has qualified to run for Fairfield First Selectman as an independent candidate on a reform platform on 2/3/26 special election. Here is his intro.
Introduction
Fairfield has long enjoyed a reputation as "the town that has it all”. There was internal
agreement that we were one of the best towns in Connecticut – topped only by being on the cover of Money magazine as one of the top towns in America.
That wasn’t that long ago, but they don’t say that anymore. Now, everyone hears the same reviews: too crowded... traffic... developers killed it.
Fairfield is hanging like the ship on the cover of the Kansas album Point of No Return. But the damage isn’t permanent. There’s a lot of traffic, and a few big buildings have gone up, but the open space for the most part is intact. There’s too much that’s inaccessible and it’s all underappreciated, but nothing irreparable. What’s also distressing is that the wounds are either self inflicted or that Fairfield allowed them to happen. This is the opportunity to recover our roots, recognize itself for who it is, and create the town the citizens want to live in and leave behind.
The Issues Driving the Need for Change:
* Policy Control: Vested interests have manipulated the Town Charter, Town Plan and are attempting to seize control of Fairfield’s water rights.
* Affordability & Zoning: The push for "housing" masks the real need for affordable homes for Fairfield’s children and the need to change to extended family zoning.
* Energy & Environment: The town faces a profound lack of concern over environmental crises, while CT has among the highest electrical rates in the country.
The Way Forward is to Take Control.
