Kait Chase

Kait Chase

I am a second-generation Granby local and an avid advocate for my small HOME town of Granby.

I am also a small-business owner, operating multiple businesses.

These two things have give me ample experience in the many facets of entrepreneurship, navigating our local economy, and balancing the niche challenges we experience while living a small community.

I find myself deeply invested in Granby, and committed to serving the community where myself and my family have deep planted roots. 

I am running for Town Trustee with a focus on truly hearing our residents, engaging in local issues, and bringing my perspectives as a longtime local, parent, and small-business owner to the Board of Trustees.

Rachel Regenold

Rachel RegenoldCandidate Biography:

Rachel Regenold has lived in Granby with her husband, Matthew, and their two boys for more than five years. Together, Rachel and Matthew own MCR Plumbing, a local plumbing company based right here in Granby, and their children attend school in the East Grand School District.

Rachel stays involved in the community in a number of ways, including serving as Vice President of the Granby Elementary PTO and helping with local youth programs, events, fundraisers, and community organizations. 

Granby is where Rachel and her family have chosen to build their business, raise their children, and put down roots. She is running for Town Trustee because she genuinely cares about this town and wants to be more involved in the decisions that will shape Granby in the years ahead.

Priorities:

Rachel's biggest priorities are supporting Granby's small businesses and downtown, keeping families in mind as the town grows, and building a stronger connection between the Town, our schools, local businesses and the people who live here. 

As both a small business owner and a parents, she sees Granby from a few different sides and understands that decisions made by the Town can have a real impact on the people who call it home. 

Rachel wants to see thoughtful growth that makes sense for Granby, a downtown where businesses can succeed, better communication with residents and business owners, and more opportunities for the Town to work alongside our schools and community organizations. Above all, she wants Granby to continue being a town where people want to live, raise their families, and build their businesses.
