Candidate for
Board of Finance
Dave Rock
I’m running for the Board of Finance to bring a blend of small business pragmatism and large corporate experience to the continued stewardship of Fairfield’s finances. Over the past several years, the Board has delivered thoughtful, balanced budgets that come in below the cost of living—exactly the kind of disciplined fiscal leadership our town needs. I’m committed to building on that success, ensuring Fairfield remains a well-run, fiscally responsible community. With both private sector insight and public service experience, I will work to keep our town financially strong and responsive to residents.
