"I'm running for First Selectman because Guilford deserves a plan for the future that ensures our town remains a wonderful place to raise a family, work, and retire." - Veronica Wallace

In addition to growing up in town and raising her two daughters here, she spearheaded efforts to build the new high school as well as championed the East River Preserve.
