Kimberly Norton announces that she will run for re-election to Town Council. Elections will be held on July 22nd at Saxe Middle School from 6:00-8:30pm at the Republican Caucus. Kimberly was elected to the Council in 2021 and is honored to have earned residents’ trust over the past four years. Chairing the Health and Human Service Committee, and as an active member of Bylaws and Ordinances and Recreation/Land Use/Conservation Committees, her focus is always on responding to residents’ concerns and finding solutions to better serve them.
She’s been happily married to her husband Bill for thirty years, having moved to New Canaan with their four children from New York City almost 20 years ago. She truly believes that New Canaan is one of the best places in the country to live, work, raise a family, attend public school and age in place. Kimberly strives to maintain New Canaan’s excellence in her work on the Council.
She attended Connecticut College, a small liberal arts college in New London CT and earned a doctorate in Behavioral Health from Fordham University. As a behavioral health provider, she’s worked in college counseling centers, state hospitals, private hospitals, assessment centers and as a NYPD forensic psychologist. Recently, she wrote a book and narrated an audio book of the same title aimed at helping young adults succeed in college admissions and career entry. As a descendant of Italian Immigrants, she was awarded a Fellowship at the Longfellow-Washington Headquarters National Park Services (NPS) archives in 2024 to research her grandfather’s stewardship of the house from 1950-1972, resulting in its designation as a NPS National Historic Site.
Kimberly believes her background brings unique perspectives to the Town Council and informs her effectiveness to serve you in an honest, straightforward manner, always keeping you, the resident, at the forefront of her advocacy and voting on the Council.
