NORWALK, CT — This year's Democratic primary in Norwalk features a four-way race for Councilmen (District C) between Tyler Fairbairn, Jenn McMurrer, John Kydes and Jennifer McAllister. Patch asked the candidates to answer questions about their campaigns ahead of the primary which is slated for Tuesday, Sept. 14. John Kydes, 47, is seeking the Democratic Party nomination for Norwalk Common Council (District C). Occupation: Contractor Family: Wife - Naomi Kydes; Daughter- Sophia Kydes; Son - John Kydes Experience: Majority Leader - Common Council Family in government: No The single biggest issue in town is ______, and I plan to do this about it: City planning is imperative to secure Norwalk's future. Funding for our schools and public services needs to come from smart development and not on the back of the taxpayer. Critical differences between me and my opponents: Insight into how the city operates and my knowledge of history is what separates me from the other candidates. Accomplishments: Played an integral roll in getting the Board of Education record-breaking budget increases nearly every year I've been on the council. Other issues: I've never subscribed to the idea that you should just play politics and not speak to the issues. If re-elected, I will continue to speak out when I believe city funding is not being spent wisely. What else would you like voters to know about you? As a lifetime Norwalk resident who is actively involved in all parts of my community, I will continue to serve at the highest level if re-elected.
