"I believe in the people of Wallingford, and that we can find common ground for the love of this town. We all want this place to be beautiful and successful... We Democrats have dug deep in our ranks and found an experienced, smart and empathetic slate for Town Council and Board of Ed eager to work together to make the dreams happen. We care about this town and everyone in it. We pledge to stick together and do the work to find common ground for our future."
Alida Cella, the Chair of the Wallingford Democrats since 2020, was nominated in July to lead the Democratic ticket. Alida is a 20-year Wallingford resident, solar financing professional, small business owner, and a former union organizer. In addition to leading the WDTC for the past 5 years, she also served as Chair of the Beth Israel Synagogue of Wallingford for a decade. Alida has been an influential force in building Democratic momentum in Wallingford, and there’s no one better equipped to lead our talented group of candidates this election cycle and beyond. It’s our honor to endorse Alida Cella for Mayor and we hope you will join us in supporting her on November 4th!
