BREAKING NEWS: The Wilton Republican Town Committee (RTC) has chosen Michael Kaelin to fill the seat of retiring second selectman Hal Clark. He will complete the remainder of Clark’s term, which is up in Nov. 2015.
Kaelin is an attorney with Cummings and Lockwood, LLC, a law firm based in Stamford. According to his bio on the firm’s website, Kaelin, “has extensive experience litigating commercial, employment, employee benefits, probate, trusts and estates, conservatorship, guardianship and investment matters, including wrongful discharge and discrimination claims, will contests, fiduciary litigation and securities arbitration; and has represented individuals, fiduciaries, closely held businesses and major corporations.”
A graduate of both Duke University (cum laude 1981) and Duke University School of Law (1984), he recently ended his term on the board of trustees of the Wilton Library Association.
In addition to the seat being filled by Kaelin, there are two other seats up for grabs in Nov. 2015–first selectman Bill Brennan (R) has already said he will not be running for another term; and Ted Hoffstatter’s (D) term is also up. The other two selectmen–Richard Dubow (D) and Jim Saxe (R) have terms that currently run through Nov. 2017.
