  • I am running because I have a deep passion for public services and a strong commit to seeing things through. Over the years, I've worked hard to turn plans into actions-whether
    it was helping to restore the Police pension, get approval for the new Hillcrest Middle School building (and its completion on time and within budget), expanding and renovating our recreational and competitive athletic fields, and helping to move the Senior center from vision to reality. I believe in being a hands-on, straight-forward leader who listens, collaborates, and delivers results. My dedication to our community and the wellbeing of others drives me every day, and I'm ready to continue working for progress that benefits all of us.

    1. Continue to serve on the Hillcrest Building Committee to its completion.

  • Bill Mecca has served as vice president and president of the Nichols Improvement Association, as an associate member of the Pinewood Lake Association, and as a member of the Trumbull Town Council since 2015.

  • I love the people, the location, and the quality of life in Trumbull. I’ve learned so much from the older generation—many of whom are no longer with us—about how meaningful it was for them, their children, and their grandchildren to live here. Trumbull offers the feel of the country while being just minutes from major highways, less than 20 minutes from the shoreline, and home to outstanding high school sports, theater, and band performances. I also appreciate our light traffic, beautiful parks, pools, golf course, tennis and pickleball courts, and the accessibility of the Pequonnock River Valley and its trail.

Fun Facts

What’s a fun fact about you? I play 2v2 Beach Volleyball in Milford at least once per week and some of the opposing players are more than half my age.

What's your favorite place in Trumbull? My favorite spot, since I pass by this part almost daily, is the Nichols Improvement Association property (Huntington Tpke, Unity, Shelton Rd corners). It is beautiful throughout the year but especially for a week in April when the cherry trees blossom and it's a sea of white. They were planted as a result of former resident’s vision many years ago and it symbolizes community involvement in that her vision (and that of the estate of the Nichols family) has left a lasting positive impact to be appreciated by subsequent generations.
