Local resident Charlie Jewett seeks signatures to run for state assembly
Summary
At the Stamford Selectboard public comment period, Charlie Jewett introduced himself as a resident and announced a run for state assembly, asking for signatures; several attendees volunteered to sign his petition during the meeting.
Charlie Jewett introduced himself during the public‑comment portion of the Stamford Selectboard meeting and asked for help getting on the ballot. "My name is Charlie Jewett. I live in Palmetto," he said, and described himself as "a conservative Republican" planning to run for state assembly. He told the board he needed signatures and asked whether people present would sign his petition.
Board members and attendees discussed logistics and several people offered to sign. Selectboard members said the candidate could solicit signatures at the meeting and one member suggested they would sign: "I will sign it," a board member said during the discussion. The board did not take a formal vote on accommodating the candidate but repeated the meeting rule that visitors have five minutes each for public comment.
The candidate estimated needing about 100 signatures to qualify for the ballot. The board did not set any formal deadlines on the floor; attendees agreed to help gather signatures informally and the candidate thanked those who volunteered.
