The Middlebury Democratic Town Committee (MDTC) voted at a March 24, 2026, special meeting to endorse Charles “Casey” Larkin IV as its candidate for selectman in the upcoming June special election.

Larkin, a lifelong resident, currently serves in his elected roles on both the Middlebury Board of Finance and the Water Pollution Control Authority, reflecting a deep and growing commitment to public service in the community.

As the committee considered its endorsement, members focused on selecting a candidate with demonstrated support in town, the ability to listen, and the ability to bring people together. Larkin emerged as the clear choice.

He brings a background in government and public policy, currently working in the Connecticut General Assembly as a legislative aide after having previously served as clerk of the Environment Committee. In those roles, he gained firsthand experience in supporting constituents, legislative processes, and policy development. Larkin earned a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Analysis and Policy from Boston University.

“It should go without saying that to be endorsed by my peers is both an honor and an expression of great trust. I am eager to hear from residents, to find common ground, and to continue to work for the town we all love. I look forward to earning the support of my neighbors,” said Larkin.

The committee expressed resounding confidence in Larkin’s ability to represent residents and work collaboratively on behalf of the town. His experience in environmental and economic policy informs his approach to responsible financial oversight and long-term planning, while keeping residents and Middlebury’s small-town character in mind.

The MDTC looks forward to introducing Larkin to more residents in the weeks ahead.
