Steven Spillane, Town Council, District 1

I have been a teacher at Daniels Farm Elementary since 1994. My wife, Jessica, is a teacher at THS. I have three children, Julie, Andy, and Tim who all grew up in Trumbull. I am actively involved in many school service groups, announce at THS athletics events, and coached youth sports in town. As a veteran teacher working with students, parents, families, and staff, I've developed important communication and listening skills to help serve on Town Council. Being a part of our town's youth organizations and working on service projects has taught me the value of community programs in town.

  • Our family has enjoyed all our years working and living in Trumbull. I am running for Town Council to continue to support Trumbull's vibrant youth programs and town amenities. As an unaffiliated voter, I hope to continue to bring people together with a government that supports all residents.

  • If elected to Town Council, I hope to continue to support our exemplary school system, making sure all the phenomenal programs offered (academics, the arts, athletics, service groups) are fully utilized to support the social emotional learning of our youth. The successful construction of the new Hillcrest building and a Senior Center are essential for serving all the people of Trumbull. As a homeowner with adult children, I realize the importance of keeping all our town ratings high.

  • Student Council Advisor, Intramural Coordinator, Variety Show Host/Coordinator at Daniels Farm School; Announcer for THS Girls Basketball, THS Football, and Trumbull youth football teams; coach for Trumbull Little League Softball / Baseball; Member of Trumbull Congregational Church.

  • The families and people of Trumbull are what I love most. Seeing former students grow and thrive and then return says a lot. Each family I meet has so much to offer our town.

Fun Facts

What’s a fun fact about you? One of my favorite things to do as a teacher is write and perform song parodies at our variety show. The kids and I perform the songs to celebrate everything (or everyone) great about our school.

What's your favorite place in Trumbull? My favorite places in town are Indian Ledge, the THS track, and Unity Park, each with fond memories of my kids' sports teams when they were younger.
