Republicans running for re-election included Brian Goralski, who has served eight years on the board, Terri Carmody, currently vice chairman of the board, and Patricia Queen, who was appointed to the board in November 2010. Colleen Clark and Jill Notar-Francesco have both served on the board for four years.
New Democratic candidates were Dee J. Ahern, a 1982 graduate of Southington High School, Anne M. Mullin, a bookkeeper for Professional Business Services and two local restaurants, Zaya G. Oshana, who has done work with the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Southington Democratic Town Committee, and Beverly Skinnon, an elementary school teacher in Southington for more than 25 years.

The top nine vote-getters will serve a two-year term.
