Selectman: Bob Grindle
Helping to craft budgets that address our town’s priorities despite challenges at the State level; working with the Board to maintain and improve our town’s roads, roadsides, services and buildings; supporting the many events, special occasions and memorial services and celebrations as well as simply pitching in wherever a bit of extra time or effort might be useful and needed…eight years go by quickly when working in small town government. Thanks for the opportunity and I hope to continue.
Selectwoman: Stephanie Bayne
I have lived in Hampton with my family since 1992, been on the DTC for 12+ years. I also served as the Deputy Democratic Registrar of Voters for several years and am a CT Certified Election Moderator. As a member of the Hampton Congregational Church I’ve served on several boards and committees and worked regularly at the Church’s community events. Hampton is a wonderful place to live and raise a family. I especially see the need for finding a balance between the town’s rural character and a wide range of sensible future opportunities. This is a great little town and I look forward to the chance to give something back.
Treasurer: Ellen Rodriguez
I have served as Hampton’s Treasurer since 1991 and I believe that my experience, expertise and commitment to provide efficient, excellent and timely accountability in handling all the town’s finances has earned me another term in office. I have a proven ability to work with Hampton taxpayers, Boards, Commissions and elected officials and look forward to the challenges of working with the newly created position of Tax Collector as an appointed position.
Town Clerk: Shannon Haddad
Shannon is a Hampton native whose roots go back eleven generations. A graduate of Hampton Consolidated School and Parish Hill Middle-High School, she has worked with Laurie Berard in the Tax Collector’s office and for the past few months with Leslie Wertam in the Town Clerk’s office, assisting whenever Leslie was out of the office. A wife and mother of three, Shannon is skilled at balancing the many commitments of rural life and civic involvement.

Alyssa Languth first moved to Hampton in 2009 and is currently a Program Manager for the New England Office of the Corporation for Supportive Housing. Prior to this role, Ms. Languth was a Senior Consultant for the Ciccolo Group, a planning and community development consulting firm in Boston, where she provided technical assistance and planning guidance to municipalities across Massachusetts, specializing in long range capital planning. She is eager to get more involved in the community she calls home.
Board of Finance and Planning and Zoning Commission (2020): Diane Gagnon
I’ve lived in Hampton for twenty years and am involved in the community in various ways. I serve as a member of the Conservation Commission, as an alternate on the Inland Wetlands Commission, a board member on the Hampton Gazette, and a member of the Friends of Goodwin Forest. I am also directly involved with the Senior Luncheons and the Annual Memorial Day Barbecue. Hampton keeps me busy and I look forward to continued service to the town.
Board of Education: Mark Becker
I am running for another term on the Board of Education of Hampton Elementary School. As a lifelong resident of Hampton and the parent of an elementary school student and a recent HES graduate, I know I will continue to be a valuable asset to the Board of Education. I have worked as an engineer at Electric Boat for the last twenty-one years. I currently supervise ten engineers and constantly make critical decisions that affect submarine construction. I have the skills necessary to work in small and large group settings. Change is on the horizon for our schools and I feel that I can remain open-minded, while keeping the best interest of the students in mind.
Board of Education: Rose Bisson
I have been a member of the Hampton Board of Education for the last twelve years. During that time, many changes have occurred at Hampton Elementary School. Our student count has fallen and we have been working to reorganize so that we provide each child with a complete education while we also lower expenses to match the lower count. This has involved training staff members, writing curriculum, schedules and new routines. I look forward to continuing this work until it has been completed.
Board of Education: Matt Flegert
Matt, a recent Hampton resident, has served on the Board of Education since 2017 and looks forward to another term if Hampton’s voters endorse him.
Board of Education: Mike Jacobson
Mike, a long time Boy Scout leader in his home town of Hampton, hopes to gain a seat on the Board of Education and looks forward to serving the community in yet another capacity.
Board of Assessment Appeals & Zoning Board of Appeals (2020): Aaron Tumel
As a life-long resident of Hampton, I’m enthusiastic to be a first-time candidate for both Zoning Board of Appeals and the Board of Assessment Appeals. With a Bachelor’s degree in Communication and a job working with a successful local business, I have the skills and attitude to be both an effective communicator and a listener. When citizens cast their vote, they deserve open, straight-forward candidates, who make every effort to respond to their wishes. I appreciate this opportunity to run and hopefully serve the town of Hampton!
Planning & Zoning Commission (2019) Pat Cascio
I raised my family and lived in Hampton for 40 years. I volunteer with the Inland Wetlands and Waterways, Conservation Commission, Hampton Seniors, Hampton Neighborhood Watch Group and hope to contribute to the Planning and Zoning Board. I care about the design and direction our town takes. I care about transparency, honesty and reliability of good teams. I say teams because we need to work together. I care.
Zoning Board of Appeals (2019): Linda Seretny-Navin
Linda, a long time Hampton resident, has served on the Board of Assessment Appeals since 2011.
Constables: Chris Bayne & Jeff Smith, Sr.
