Stephen Ivain

Democrat City Council Torrington 54 Incumbent: No Current job: Investment Product Manager Education: Torrington High School; Connecticut College The top issue you will address if elected: Economic development has to be the top priority. The grand list has not grown for a decade and the mill rate is now in the top 10 highest of our state. To best benefit the citizens of Torrington, improving the economic climate will be the key to providing the services that translate to improved education, employment and the city's image. Other important issues: Fully utilizing the city's capabilities to put the best foot forward. Positioning city hall to organize the city's services to be responsive to prospective businesses with a can do attitude. Putting to work the city's industrial base to revive the business climate. Also advocating for a baseball team to fill the currently vacant Fuessenich Park would be an additional entertainment venue for the region.

Family: My wife is a local school teacher of English learners. We have three children between the ages of 18 and 23, all have attended Torrington schools. I have been active in Saint Maron’s Church in Torrington. Currently, I'm serving as the chairman of the board for the Joyful Noise, Inc. which is a notforprofit entity that has both children's and an adult's choir. I have been an active volunteer in Hartford, working on park beautification projects with the Knox group. Elected offices held or community groups involved with: Joyful Noise Inc, volunteer on the board for 8 years.
