The Town Council selected Ronald San Angelo to be the next
Town Manager for Southbridge by a vote of 8 to 1. Councilor Monique Manna voted for candidate Daniel Knapick.
The vote came after the Council completed a series of interviews
with three finalists that also included Michael Embury in addition to Mr. Knapick.
San Angelo was state representative of Connecticut’s 131st
District, which covers Oxford and parts of Naugatuck and Southbury for 10 years
until 2002 when he ran unsuccessfully for Secretary of the State in
Connecticut. He lost to Susan Bysiewicz. San Angelo, a Republican, then ran for
mayor of Naugatuck, defeating current Mayor Bob Mezzo, a Democrat, and
third-party candidate Peter Jurzynski. San Angelo then defeated Democrat Curtis
Bosco in 2005.
In 2007, San Angelo announced he would not seek a third term
because he had been awarded a state post by then-Gov. M. Jodi Rell. San Angelo
served as project manager for the state Department of Information Technology
for about two years.
San Angelo ran for the Naugatuck Republican Party's
endorsement for mayor in the 2009 campaign but lost to then incumbent Mike
Bronko, who ended up losing to Mezzo in the general election.
He is currently Town Administrator for the town of Hanson MA.
