Dedication to Public Service


I am writing to express my support for Lisa Arpin as Branford tax collector. Lisa has both the knowledge and professionalism that it takes to run the Tax Collectors Office, as she has done for the past eight years.

In addition, when the governor’s executive order suspended in-person public meetings over a year ago, Town Clerk Lisa Arpin immediately stepped up to assist many of Branford’s 48 boards and commissions to continue to hold public meetings. Board chairs and members were required to quickly learn how to balance meeting via remote Zoom platform, some while being simultaneously aired on local TV and Facebook Live.

Town Clerk Arpin was present to open many of the meetings held virtually, happily assisting with the nuances and challenges of conducting meetings via a different technology. This seamless and smooth transition was in great part due to Lisa’s presence, guidance, and selfless contribution of many personal hours at more than 100 commission meetings.

This is one of many examples exemplifying Lisa’s dedication to public service, and I encourage voters to join me in re-electing Lisa Arpin as our town clerk.
