Moyher
Longtime Orange resident Mark Moyher has announced that he will seek the Democratic nomination for the town’s first selectman. The Orange Democratic Town Committee caucus to select their candidates will be held in July.
“If elected First Selectman, I will work to ensure our town moves forward while continuing to embrace its rich history,” Moyher said. “I will communicate with and engage residents so we can have greater participation and transparency in our government. I’ll be an advocate for education and families, explore options for our seniors for affordable housing, and implement strategies to attract new businesses to Orange to grow our tax base.”
Moyher is a vice president-senior trader with local investment management and financial advisory firm Wright Investors’ Service. He studied accounting and finance at Fairfield University and has a nearly 40-year career in finance.
Moyher and his wife Ilene have been Orange residents for 25 years. They are active members of the Orange Recycling Committee. Moyher currently serves as both the secretary and treasurer of the committee, positions he has held for five years. He is also a member of the ODTC and the Grassy Hill Men’s Association.
ODTC Chair Polly Demirjian said, “As soon as you meet Mark, you immediately know that he is listening to what you say and truly cares about your response. His unmatched financial expertise, business experience, positive attitude, and devotion to the Orange community would
bring strong leadership to our residents, while actively keeping them informed of all things
happening in town.”
“Orange is a great place to live for people of all ages,” said Moyher. “I want to see our town live
up to its potential and thrive with innovation.”
In his free time, Moyher enjoys cooking and hosting family and friends. Mark is also an avid reader and enjoys bowling and playing golf.
