Suffield Democratic Town Committee
Melissa Mack – First Selectman
Melissa, David and their two children have lived in Suffield since 2005. A business and tax attorney for fifteen years, Melissa opened her law firm, Mack Law LLC, primarily counseling tax-exempt organizations, in Suffield in 2014. As the mother of a child with special needs, Melissa has worked closely and collaboratively with the Suffield public school system for the past seven years. She has served on the Historical Commission as well as many community and charity organizations in Suffield and the Hartford area.
Melissa’s Platform Relies on These Ideas:
- Restoring integrity, accountability, efficiency and best governing practices to Suffield’s government. She has extensive experience working with boards on governance, conflicts of interest, policy drafting, compliance, dispute resolution and other matters that would enhance the transparency and effectiveness of our government.
- Collaborating with Suffield’s boards, commissions, departments, businesses and residents to formulate and implement a thoughtful and comprehensive strategic vision and plan for Suffield that reflects citizens’ preferences and a savvy and responsible financial plan.
- Working with the Board of Finance to streamline Suffield’s budget, implement cost-saving measures, negotiate economies of scale and explore alternative funding sources for specific Town initiatives, including tax credit programs, grant funding and others.
- Supporting the Suffield public school system in addressing challenges from the CT Common Core Standards and its initiative of differentiated instruction in the regular education classrooms, and improving the provision of special education services
