The GOP hasn't got much on its website, but it does have a list of its candidates, which includes two email addresses for its Board of Education candidates. Here's the link:

Christopher C. Wilson GOP Candidate for BOE
Since the seal is broken! My educational background is a graduate of The college of NJ with Bachelor of Arts in Sociology, Masters of Science in Insurance University of Hartford. I graduated from the US Army in 3 years with an Honorable discharge.
I am past President of McCabe Waters LL & Bristol Rotary. I am currently President of West Cemetery Ass'n & Professional Insurance Agents of CT. I am currently a board member for Property and casualty Trust-an insurance captive insuring United Methodist Churches and agencies. I am also a past board member of The familiy Center for Girls and boys and Bristol Day Care Center.
I have been employed at C.V. Mason & Co-an insurance agency since 1980. I have been the president since 1992.
I have an interst in education because I believe it has been instrumental in the success I have realized in my life. I wish to make sure others have that same opportunity.
2 mottos I pattern my life "If you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem" in raising children my motto is "pave the child for the path not the path for the child"
I have 3 children who have been educated in the Bristol schools and have gone on to earn College degrees.(well 2 7/8 I assume the last one will graduate in May)
I believe we need to raise the bar and expectations. The expectations need to be raised by all involved in the educational process including Parents, students, educators, administrators and even commissioners!
I believe that our fathers education is not good enough for our students to be successful. We need to build within the entire community the goal to raise expectations.
I am for K-8. I believe the educational strategies can be better accomplished in that environment. That is not to say other configurations won't work but my reading, visiting K-8 schools and analysis says that is the correct approach. Unfortunately we, do not have the resources to make such a change immediately so it must be transitioned over a long number of years.
I am in agreement for the location for the Forestville school at Green Hills. For the West Side I still belive the Center Mall would be better served as a community school than a mixed use retail/office/habitational complex. I believe we must compete for families to live in our community. Schools are one of the first charateristics a future resident will use to determine residency. However if the Center Mall is not chosen as a site I will evaluate other sites based upon their suitablity for educational and community benefits.
If you choose me as one of your electoral candidates for the BOE I assure you I will give my all to make effective and judicious decisions on behalf of the entire community
