Meet Joe Pellegrino, a devoted Greenwich resident and Republican candidate for the Board of Estimate & Taxation (BET) seeking to give back to the town that raised him.

He’s proud to call Greenwich home, and his decision to run reflects a desire to preserve what he believes makes our town special: natural beauty, rich community life, and strong communal bonds. “People care. They care about their families… and the community at large.”

- He believes the BET must tackle challenging issues head-on — budgeting, capital planning, service delivery — with an eye toward responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars.

If you believe in someone who values community, understands local roots, and is ready to serve with proven character and respect for our town’s legacy — then Joe Pellegrino is a name worth your attention this election.

Why he’s running now:

Meet Fred Camillo — a lifelong Greenwich resident, public-servant, and the current First Selectman of Greenwich (running for re-election). With over a decade of service in elected office — including 11 years as State Representative and multiple terms on the town’s RTM — Fred brings deep local roots and institutional knowledge.

As First Selectman, Fred has guided Greenwich through both boom years and challenging times. He emphasizes three key priorities:
- Protecting local autonomy: He has made resisting unwelcome statewide mandates and preserving Greenwich’s control over zoning a cornerstone of his approach.
- Infrastructure, safety & smart technology: Under his leadership, Greenwich became the first municipality in Connecticut to adopt advanced “smart light” traffic technology and is tackling flood-mitigation, public-safety planning, and downtown revitalization.
- Balancing tradition and progress: Fred says he wants Greenwich to honor its history while embracing a “bright, bold future” — ensuring that our town remains a destination, affordable, and vibrantly alive.

Why vote for Fred? He’s not just running on promises — his record shows a hands-on mayor-style leadership, a deep understanding of Greenwich’s institutions, and clearly articulated goals for the town’s next chapter. If you value continuity, experience, and a community-first mindset guiding Greenwich’s future, then Fred Camillo is a name to consider.
