Opposition
Six of the 11 seats on the Danbury Public Schools Board of Education were up for at-large general election on November 3, 2015. Incumbents Gladys Cooper (D), Annrose Fluskey-Lattin (R), Richard Hawley (R), David Metrena (R), Robert Taborsak (D) and Phyllis Tranzillo (D) seats were up for election. The partisan breakdown of the board prior to this election was six Republicans and five Democrats.
Cooper was nominated by the Democratic Party to run for another term on the board. Also receiving Democratic nominations were Frederick Karrat and Holly Robinson.[2] Sitting Republicans Fluskey-Lattin, Hawley and Metrena were nominated to run for re-election along with Pat Johnston, Emanuela Palmares and Dan Rosemark.[3] All of the Republican candidates were also endorsed by the Connecticut Independent Party (CIP).
Due to the minority party requirement, the three Democrats won election to the board, despite receiving fewer votes than any of the Republican/CIP candidates. The top vote recipient in the election was Johnston, who was followed by incumbents Hawley and Metrena. Metrena narrowly won re-election, with just eight votes separating him from fourth-place Republican Rosemark. Fluskey-Lattin lost her seat on the board, placing last among the Republicans. Overall, this election did not change the partisan composition of the board, but it did bring three new faces to body.
