Election Day
As you head to the polls, think of the mayor’s role as what it truly is, a job. And like any important job, it deserves the right candidate.
Ask yourself, who has the experience, the vision, and the record to lead our small city with a big heart? Who has shown up, listened, and been willing to answer the tough questions?
Rich Smith has. Whether it was knocking on doors, meeting neighbors face-to-face, or speaking openly about his plans and record, he has been willing to be interviewed and held accountable every single day. Because leadership means showing up.
Before you vote, take a moment to do your research, beyond the noise of social media forums and political signs. Look at the facts. Look at the plans and the policies.
Rich Smith’s resume speaks for itself, with several accomplishments completed and more projects set in motion in just seven months as Mayor. Alongside his education, a full career in the private sector with global and technology companies, and a lifetime of public service...just imagine what he will do next.
Milford deserves a leader ready to get to work. Hire for the job. Make your voice heard, and make it count.
Vote for Rich Smith for Milford Mayor, and Vote Row A!

Cocktails and Conversation with Rich Smith and Ned Lamont
Please join Ned Lamont in support of Rich Smith for Milford Mayor at Dockside Brewery, Thursday June 19th, at 5:30pm for cocktails and conversation!
Community Conversation
Look at this election as your opportunity to hire Milford’s next Mayor. You don’t hire someone because you see a lot of pictures of them or see how many social events they attend. You hire someone because of their management experience, their education, their ideas, and their focus on the job’s responsibilities. You hire someone because of their work ethic and because they will deliver results with a clear and attainable plan: to increase revenue and reduce operational costs.
Community Conversations offer you the opportunity to speak to a candidate who wants to speak to you about the issues that affect you personally. He wants to have an honest and transparent discussion about those issues so he could do the work to make your home and your city better every day.
Our campaign is hosting a Community Conversation that is open to the public. Come join us! Ask questions. Take part in democracy because it starts here, at home, and hire the right person for the job.
Pints and Politics
Please join us at Tribus Brewery, Wednesday March 26th at 5:30pm to enjoy pints and discuss politics! Rich will be joined by Senator Maroney, State Reps Frank Smith and MJ Shannon, and City Clerk Pete Smith.
Campaign Kick-Off
Join former Mayor Rich Smith at Stonebridge for his campaign kick-off for the 2025 Election!
