Evonne Klein & Darien Democrats Make History!
First Selectman Evonne Klein (left) joins David Bayne and Callie Sullivan in thanking their supporters after an historic victory in 2007. For the first time ever in Darien, Democratic candidates won a majority on the Board of Selectman. Evonne won 65 percent of the vote, and Callie Sullivan and David Bayne won by significant margins. It was a great day, and it would not have been possible without tremendous support from the entire community.
To everyone who helped make this historic victory possible ... THANK YOU!
What an amazing election! You can read all about it in the Darien Times! ... And check out these snapshots from the campaign.
