Trusted Leadership - A Strong Voice for Farmington and Unionville
About Joe Capodiferro
I have served on the Town Council for Four years and sat as vice chair for the past two. As a third-generation resident of Farmington, a 26-year veteran of the Farmington Police Department, and an active volunteer for a number of non-profit organizations, I know our Town. Kim, my wife of 22 years, and I have two children, Cooper 17 who is going to be a senior at FHS and Nathan 20 who attends TCTC
Why am I Running?
I am running because I love this town. Farmington is well managed, has outstanding schools and excellent Town services. Maintaining a strong commercial base has allowed our residents to consistently have one of the lowest mill rates and taxes in Farmington Valley. I look forward to continuing the long history of fiscal responsibility of our Town.
During the past 4 years on the Town Council representing the 1 st district I have supported our new High School, created our Racial Equality Taskforce, been the liaison for TPZ, WPC, Human Relations, 1928 Building, and Land Acquisition Committee. I have continually supported maintaining a low tax rate without reducing services to our citizens, many of whom moved here due to low taxes.
I graduated from Farmington High School and I have had the honor of following in the footsteps of my father and grandfather when I joined the Farmington Police Department. Together they served for 60 years. I am extremely proud of the fact that my family and I have protected this community for over 86 years.
Early in my professional career as the Community Police Officer I met with many local businesses and residents on a regular basis, getting to understand their needs and concerns. As the K-9 Police officer for over 10 years my K-9 partner Drak and I would visit our schools and students, gaining a new perspective on our Town.
Community Service has always been important to my family and me. I am currently on the board of the Farmington Community Chest, a proud member of UNICO and a former board member of Amy’s Angels. I am honest, hardworking, fiscally responsible, and with my background, I am confident that I can represent my community for the next two years as your Town Council Chair.
