Chip Beckett - Candidate for Town Council
“As a resident of Glastonbury since 1971, I am running for the Town Council because of the pride I have for my hometown. As a member of the Town Council for the last six years, I have worked to balance growth, economic development and preservation of open space to enhance the quality of life for those who live and work in Glastonbury. I look forward to continuing to work together to find the most positive and fiscally responsible solutions to the needs of our town.”
