Candidates for Constable, Stamford 2009

What is a Constable? In Connecticut, a Constable has the same duties, within the boundaries of a town, as a State Marshal:  serving legal papers to the people named in a lawsuit. (This role was also fulfilled by County Sheriffs until that office was abolished in 2000.)

    David Bedell David Bedell

A resident of Stamford since 2001, David works as an English teacher and is also a Justice of the Peace. He is secretary of the Fairfield County Green Party chapter and serves on the advisory board of Teachers Against Prejudice. In 2007 he replaced his car with a bicycle.

David is also running for the Board of Representatives.

If elected, David, Mary, and Rolf promise:

  • Reliable and efficient process service throughout Stamford:
    - Writs
    - Subpoenas
    - Summons and Complaints
    - Delinquent Child Support Payments
  • Four-season delivery by bicycle or mass transit—clean, quiet, and unthreatening
  • No firearms carried or needed

Greenwich has a Bicycle Master Plan and a Safe Routes to School program. Stamford needs these too, since 10% of Stamford households have no car.
