Mary Ann Drayton-Rogers
& Dave McKane
Announce Re-election Campaig
n

Mary Ann Drayton-Rogers, First Selectman of Oxford, has enthusiastically announced her intention of seeking reelection to the position she won in November 2007.

“In 2007,  realizing that Oxford needed to move forward in a new direction, I stepped into the position of First Selectman stating that I would raise the office to a new level of honesty and openness.  This has been done by acting in a bi-partisan manner and by achieving results that are in the best interests of our town.  In accomplishing this, I’ve  reached across party lines, worked with and listened to many individuals from both political parties, appointed the best available people to boards and committees and treated all with the respect they deserve.”

“As a result, the sewer and water line from Great Hill Road to West Street is being completed.  This plan of years past, had become a dead issue until I was able to bring all interested parties together and turn the project into a much-needed reality.  Being able to turn ideas, plans and dreams into reality has been a major trademark of my administration.  Commercial development on Route 67 south now has a chance to develop with much needed medical, retail and convenience services in Oxford.”...

Life-long Republican
Switches Parties to Support
Mary Ann Drayton-Rogers

John DeGennaro, a life-long Republican, recently switched his party affiliation to Democratic because of his displeasure with the local Republican Party and some of its members.  He said that the Republican members of the Board of Finance attack the Board of Education at every meeting and he has grown tired of their actions.  DeGennaro indicated that he is supporting Mary Ann Drayton-Rogers and Dave McKane in the upcoming election because of how well they have been managing Oxford for the past two years and their openness to all parties and people.

The exodus from Oxford's Republican Party, to support the administration of Mary Ann Drayton-Rogers and Dave McKane, continues to increase.  In addition to DeGennaro, another life-long Republican, Bob DeBisschop, also is supporting Drayton-Rogers and McKane in the upcoming election.  DeGennaro, DeBisschop, and many other Republicans who are in support of the current Democratic administration, cite the openness of the Drayton-Rogers and McKane administration and their willingness to listen to all parties, no matter with what political party they are affiliated.
