East Granby Democratic first selectman sworn in after flipping seat in election
First Selectman Jason Hayes was sworn in Sunday morning at the East Granby Community and Senior Center. Hayes flipped the seat from Republican Eden Wimpfheimer back in November.
“They’re hungry for change,” said Hayes. “They’re hungry for a voice and I think today we all got fed.”
Hayes spent decades working as a celebrity wig artist and now he wants to help bring the entertainment industry to East Granby.
“I’m looking to bring the film and television industry here,” he said. “Our proximity to the airport is incredible and that’s an industry I have 30 years of experience in.”
