Canidate Bio: Dina Gagliardi-Ford (R) for Board of Assessment Appeals:

I have a bachelor’s degree from Central Connecticut State University in Psychology and Business and then went on to Saint Joseph University to obtain a degree in Family and Consumer Science. I continued there and received a master’s in Early Childhood Special Education. I have been a family and consumer science teacher at Maloney High School in Meriden for five years. I am part of the School Improvement Committee and the Positive Behavior Intervention and Support Team. This year I am also co-chairing the Future Business Leaders of America club. In addition to high school, I am an adjunct professor at Middlesex Community College teaching students about early childhood education. I have a passion for teaching that gets stronger every year.

This is my first involvement with politics but when I moved to Middletown over a year ago I could tell what an amazing town it is and knew that I wanted to get involved. Running for the Board of Assessment and Appeals seemed like a great start.

Candidate Bio: Corrine Dorsey (R) for Planning & Zoning Alternate.
My name is Corrine Dorsey and I am announcing my intention to run as Alternate for of Planning & Zoning.

I have lived in Middletown for over 50 years, was educated in Middletown public schools and attended Middlesex Community College. 

I love Middletown and its people and want to see Middletown continue to prosper in the future by supporting further development of the riverfront and attracting business to the city.  Both endeavors would increase the Grand List, create jobs, lower property taxes, support hiring of additional teachers, provide for After School programs, as well as, additional programs for our seniors. Therefore, over the years, I have made a conscious investment of time and energy to that end.
I will bring experience to Planning & Zoning, In 1985, I was elected Commissioner of the Board of Tax Review, now the Board of Tax Appeal.  In 1999, I was elected to the elected to Planning & Zoning as a commissioner.  I have served on the Boards of Housing and Development and Inlands and Wetlands. I also served on the committee for Strategic Planning and was a member of the Republican Town Committee.  Currently, I serve on the Board of Ethics.  I have worked at Pratt & Whitney over 38 years and am a member of the Machinist Union Local 700.  I am a member of the Order of Eastern Star and a blessed member of Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church.

 I have been married to Hirley Dorsey for over 42 years, have three beautiful daughters, Tocsha, Monique and Chaleica, 12 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren, which are my heart.
