Cocktails and Conversation with Rich Smith and Ned Lamont
Please join Ned Lamont in support of Rich Smith for Milford Mayor at Dockside Brewery, Thursday June 19th, at 5:30pm for cocktails and conversation!

Community Conversation
Look at this election as your opportunity to hire Milford’s next Mayor. You don’t hire someone because you see a lot of pictures of them or see how many social events they attend. You hire someone because of their management experience, their education, their ideas, and their focus on the job’s responsibilities. You hire someone because of their work ethic and because they will deliver results with a clear and attainable plan: to increase revenue and reduce operational costs.
Community Conversations offer you the opportunity to speak to a candidate who wants to speak to you about the issues that affect you personally. He wants to have an honest and transparent discussion about those issues so he could do the work to make your home and your city better every day.
Our campaign is hosting a Community Conversation that is open to the public. Come join us! Ask questions. Take part in democracy because it starts here, at home, and hire the right person for the job.
Pints and Politics
Please join us at Tribus Brewery, Wednesday March 26th at 5:30pm to enjoy pints and discuss politics! Rich will be joined by Senator Maroney, State Reps Frank Smith and MJ Shannon, and City Clerk Pete Smith.
