Monroe First Selectman Ken Kellogg has opted not to seek re-election for a fourth term.
Kellogg, a Republican, was first elected in 2017. Prior to becoming first selectman, he was owner of Kellogg Professional Services and previously held jobs in the emergency services and marketing sectors.
“While serving this wonderful community is extremely rewarding, I have concluded that it is simply time for me to focus on my family,” he said in a statement. “Over six years ago, when I decided to run for First Selectman, I did so with full knowledge of the demands of this job. That includes the responsibilities that continue regardless of the hour of the day, or the day of the week. My family has fully supported me, despite their sacrifices, while I concentrated on Town business, including frequent evening meetings and many weekend obligations.”
