The five district representative seats on the Norwalk Public Schools Board of Education were up for general election on November 3, 2015. A Democratic primary election was held September 16, 2015, for Districts A and B.
Yvel Crevecoeur (D/WFP) won the District A seat after petitioning for and winning a Democratic primary and defeating Joe Perella (I) for the open seat. While Perella ran as an unaffiliated candidate, he was endorsed by the Republican Town Committee (RTC).
District A incumbent Rosa Murray (D) did not seek her party's nomination to run for another term. Instead, the Norwalk Democratic Town Committee (DTC) nominated Nicol Ayers to run for the seat. Ayers faced a primary challenge from Yvel Crevecoeur. Crevecoeur won with a margin of 14 votes. The tight margin automatically necessitated a recount, which held the same totals.[1][2] Crevecoeur received the endorsement of the Connecticut Working Families Party after petitioning to run as a Democratic candidate. This ensured that he would appear on the general election ballot regardless of the primary outcome.
Erik Anderson (D) won the District B seat after defeating incumbent Migdalia Rivas (D) in a primary. The two had tied for the Democratic nomination at the party convention. This left the party without an official nominee in the race. Both Rivas and Anderson successfully petitioned to hold a party primary to determine a Democratic candidate for District B.[3] Anderson won the primary and was set to face Republican nominee Harold Bonet in the general election. However, Bonet withdrew from the race, leaving Anderson without official opponents.[1][2]
No primaries were necessary for the other three seats. District C incumbent Michael Lyons (R) won re-election after his party nominated him to run for re-election; he defeated Democratic nominee Lisa Nuzzo in the general election. District D incumbent Bryan Meek (R) won his first full term on the board. Meek was appointed to the board in March 2015 and received his party's nomination to run for the remainder of the seat's term. He defeated Democratic nominee Haroldo Williams on the general election ballot. In District E, Michael Barbis (D) won re-election without opposition. He was nominated to retain his seat by the Democratic Town Committee, and no Republican candidate was nominated to challenge him.
