The Lyme Republican Town Committee has endorsed a slate of candidates for the November election comprised primarily of incumbents. The only changes are that current Region 18 Board of Education Chairman Jim Witkins is stepping down from that board and has been endorsed for the board of finance. Running in Witkins’s stead for the board of education is newcomer Mary Powell-St. Louis.
The remainder of the slate is made up of Linda Ward for tax collector; Linda Winzer for town clerk; William Hawthorne for treasurer; David Tiffany for planning and zoning commission with Peter Evankow as an alternate; David Lahm for zoning board of appeals; and Jerry Ehlen and Holly Rubino for library directors.
