Gibbons will not run for new term

Attention: open in a new window. PrintEmail

After six terms in office, State Rep. Lile Gibbons (R-150) announced Wednesday night that it was time to step away and that she would not be going for lucky number seven.

Ms. Gibbons made the announcement before the Greenwich Republican Town Committee who thanked her for her service with a standing ovation. Ms. Gibbons was first elected to the state legislature in 2000 after serving as chairman of the Board of Education. She won her seat narrowly after a tightly contested Republican primary and ironically never faced a challenge again, running unopposed for all of her general elections.
