This week, we are looking at the Berlin Town Council candidates.
Name: Theresa Tonina                 
Age: 69
Party, Board Seeking: Republican, Berlin Town Council

Why did you run for office?
I am running because I want to be a voice for the people. When the people go vote we have to listen to what they are telling us and that is not been done in many years.

What skills do you have that you could bring to the community?
I was involved on the Republican Town Committee. I was president of Kensington Grammer School Mothers Club, Griswold Mothers Club, St. Paul's Mothers Club, St. Thomas Aquinas Mothers Club, Parish Council at St. Paul's Church and President of Berlin Little league.

Anything else you would like to share?
I have three children. My daughter had a terrible accident is in a wheelchair and the people in Berlin put my daughter back into society now. It is my turn to help the people in his town and to be their voice. Vote Republican.
