Myself and my fellow members of the 7th District Hartford Democratic Town Committee campaigned recently promising transparency, openness and a desire to help educate voters to encourage greater voter involvement.
As they say, actions speak louder than words, so here goes.
On Friday evening, May 4, 2012 the members of "Team 7" will be hosting public interviews for the positions of Registrar of Voters and United States Senator as we decide our endorsements as delegates to both conventions. As I said, the interviews are open to the public, we encourage the public to attend and even submit questions you would like the candidates to answer.
This will not be a debate format but individual "job" style interviews to see where the candidates stand on issues facing our community.
The timetable for the event is outlined below:
Please note that the timetable may change slightly if any additional candidates register before Friday. Time slots were assigned alphabetically. Spread the word to anyone interested, we hope to see you there.

I hope you will update us on the "interviews" and your role in making certain we have qualified Registrar of Voters. As you know, the current Democratic Registrar has: Refused to give out Voter Registration forms, lost absentee ballots (initially 51, but she managed to locate all but 8), and refused to provide voter registration information. We will be interested in being updated on the 1. the qualifications you consider important in selecting the Registrar and 2. how the interviews are addressing those qualifications. and 3. your role in ensuring a process that gets us a qualified Registrar.
