Re-Elect John Carangelo
Orange is a wonderful town with excellent schools, safe neighborhoods, and protected green spaces. This didn't happen by accident.
Sound town management and fiscal planning by our First Selectman and his Republican team on our Board of Selectmen has enabled us to achieve many objectives for the people of Orange. Add to that a strong spirit of volunteerism, and you have a formula for success.
Excellent schools require strong financial planning. Education comprises over 61% of our budget, so Jim Zeoli and our Board of Finance pay close attention to the requirements of both Amity Regional and Orange elementary schools and the need to keep your taxes under control.
Safe neighborhoods require the strong support of our police and Orange Volunteer Fire Department (OVFD). We continue to support our police with needed upgrades to communications, fleet, and other requirements.

Open space acquisition has greatly increased during Jim Zeoli’s time in office. As a result of sound management and strong economic development, we were able to achieve S&P's AAA bond rating. This lowers the cost of borrowing for open space purchases.
