Elections
2015
Opposition
Five of the nine seats on the Fairfield Board of Education were up for general election on November 3, 2015. Five at-large incumbents' seats were up for election in 2015: Philip Dwyer (D), Paul Fattibene (R), Jessica Gerber (D), Jennifer Maxon-Kennelly (D) and John Convertito (R). Dwyer, Gerber and Maxon-Kennelly won re-election, along with two Republican newcomers: Anthony Calabrese and Trisha Pytko. The partisan makeup of the board going into this election was five Democrats and four Republicans; this election did not shift the overall Democrat/Republican split.
Incumbents Dwyer, Gerber and Maxon-Kennelly were nominated to retain their seats by the Fairfield Democratic Town Committee. Also receiving Democratic nominations were Zhanna Funaro and Matthew Hutzelmann; Funaro withdrew from the race prior to the election.[2] Dwyer and Maxon-Kennelly were also endorsed by the Working Families Party.[3]
Meanwhile, the Fairfield Republican Town Committee nominated a field of newcomers for the board: Laura Bernaschina, Anthony Calabrese, Patricia Donavan, Jason Li and Trisha Pytko.[4] Donavan and Bernaschina ran as a slate called "The Team to Move Fairfield Forward."
