I’m Tom Laffin and I’ve lived in Wallingford my entire life. I attended Holy Trinity and Xavier then left Wallingford to attend and graduate from college with a degree in Political Science. I returned home to Wallingford, where I’ve remained, to raise my two beautiful children, Jack and Abby. As my children grew, I decided to commit myself to public service and take on an active role in making Wallingford the town people want live in, work in, raise their families in, and pursue their dreams in. I started on the Inland & Wetlands Commission then was elected to two terms on the Board of Education. In 2011, I was elected onto the Town Council and became the Vice-Chairman in 2013. I am currently serving my 6th term and, this election season, hope to be re-elected for a 7th term. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure to meet, and interact with, the citizens of this town and am always left with a distinct feeling of honor and a responsibility to keep their best interests in mind when doing my part in Wallingford’s government.
