Town Council
Anthony Guerrera Jr – District 1
I’ve been a resident of Wolcott for 34 years. My wife and I will be married 21 years and we’ve raised 3 children, one of which is a Junior at WHS and I have 2 grandchildren. I’ve owned my own business since moving here employing 11 and working throughout all the New England states. I perform finish carpentry for multi-family unit projects ranging from 100 to 900 apartments. I started as a coach at the BAW at the Roberto Clemente level and spent 19 years with “Coach Dave”. Along with the successful runs at the World Series, I also coached basketball & soccer.
I was a member of the Wolcott Exchange Club for 2 years. Just recently I was a member of the Building Committee for the Board of Education. For 3 years I worked on projects at every school in town becoming familiar with how the committee’s function. I am, as my wife would put it, a political junkie and at this point in my life, I want to start getting involved in local politics. I thought it was time to not only talk the talk but walk the walk.
Terri Sheehan – District 1
My name is Terri Sheehan. I am running for Town Council 1st District. I have been a resident of the Town of Wolcott since 2003. I am married to Peter Sheehan. Together we have raised four children, Kyle Hensel (2021 graduate of Wolcott High School), Alison Hensel (2023 Wolcott High School), Crystal, and Matthew Sheehan.
I have deep roots within our Town. Together, my husband and I own and operate a business in Town. I am in charge and oversee human resources, payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable, service, contract review and negotiation, review of legal documents, and overall business upkeep and management.
I have served on various committees and boards within our town. Some of which include the Bd of Ethics, Secretary for the Local Emergency Planning Commission, Civilian Police Review Board, and Blight.
