When David Eldridge was a Shelton police officer he was assigned to the Statewide Narcotic Task Force which I supervised. I had the privilege to work with David for approximately three years and really got to know him on and off duty. I still maintain a relationship with David to this day. David Eldridge was well liked and respected by his supervisors and peers. Amongst his many positive qualities David is the most dependable “ team player” that I ever supervised. He worked well with many different agencies and individuals. Whatever it took to get the job done David would step up to complete the task. As a mayor of Shelton I believe these qualities will be a major asset.

“I am a life long Shelton resident and a Shelton business owner. I have known both David Eldridge and Mark Lauretti my whole life. I have supported Mark Lauretti in the past, but thirty years is too long. It is time for a change.

 

David is the hardest working person I know. He will keep our taxes low and bring a more decent and effective business mode and vision to our town. The current leadership is stale, entrenched and has lost its way. David is experienced and ready to lead. I am excited for Mayor Eldridge. “

I have been a Shelton resident since 2008. I have a child in our school system and have been a life-long registered Republican. I will be voting for David Eldridge as our next Mayor of Shelton. We need better leadership in order to set our city up for the future so that our children will be proud of where they grew up and went to school, and want to come back to live here one day. We need a problem solver like David, not a problem maker. David will keep our taxes low. He has the experience, skills and temperament to be Mayor.

“ As a 23 year-old, life long Shelton resident, I have returned from college to my hometown. I continue to feel we are missing the boat on our downtown. This area could be one of the best downtowns in Connecticut. We need leadership and a comprehensive vision for the area. We need someone who acknowledges the deficiencies of the area and works with people to develop the best roadmap forward. We need David Eldridge for our Mayor. “
