Caroline Simmons

Caroline B. Simmons is honored to be the Mayor of Stamford. She was elected in 2021 with the goal of making Stamford a more equitable, inclusive, affordable, vibrant city where everyone can thrive. Her top priorities include investing in the City's infrastructure, advancing economic prosperity, and making government more responsive to enhance quality of life for residents. In 2014, Caroline Simmons was elected to represent Stamford's 144th house district. She was appointed to be the chair of the Commerce Committee in her second term and successfully introduced, led debate, and helped pass over 16 bipartisan business bills on the House Floor. She is a passionate advocate for women and minority owned businesses and has helped pass legislation to provide more grants and access to capital to entrepreneurs and startups and to support small business and job growth across Connecticut. During her time in the legislature, she was also a member of the Higher Education and Employment and Human Services committees. Previously, Caroline worked at Yale University at Elevate: A Policy Lab to Elevate Mental Health and Disrupt Poverty, which is based out of the Yale School of Medicine. While there, she focused on maternal mental health policies to support families. Prior to that, she worked at the Women’s Business Development Council in Stamford where she helped provide entrepreneurial, financial, and professional development training programs for women across Connecticut. Caroline also worked at the Department of Homeland Security for four and a half years, serving as a Special Assistant in the Office of the Secretary, a Policy Analyst in the Office of the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia, and as a Director of Special Projects in the Counterterrorism Coordinator’s Office at Homeland Security. In these roles, Caroline provided support for DHS’s domestic and international counterterrorism programs and helped support DHS’s programs and budget for its homeland security team in Kabul, Afghanistan. Caroline lives in Stamford with her husband, Art Linares, and her three sons, Teddy, Jack and William.

Bruce Beinfield

After obtaining his Master of Architecture from the University of Colorado in 1978, Bruce Beinfield returned to Connecticut in 1983 to establish what was to become Beinfield Architecture PC. He has built an idea-driven practice whose work is inspired by place, culture, and history. Quickly gaining a reputation for excellence in design and service, he has been the recipient of numerous design awards for his residential, commercial, retail, and restaurant work and has become an acknowledged expert in the adaptive re-use of existing buildings. In 1997 Bruce received an AIA Special Achievement Award for Architectural Excellence for his visionary role in orchestrating the revitalization of the SoNo District in Norwalk, Connecticut. There he helped transform an urban slum into a vital, arts-oriented community, highlighting the history of the waterfront and infusing it with life. Beinfield has completed over 150 projects in that neighborhood for over 40 different clients and has effectively beaten back urban blight. His projects have included the adaptive reuse and preservation of historic buildings, as well as new structures that have mended the fragmented urban fabric. In the restaurants, offices, retail, residential, and civic buildings he designed, it was his architecture that spoke of renewal and it was the raw energy of his work that endowed the place with life. In 2008, Beinfield won an AIA award for the design of Kinetic Energy Sculptures to enhance connectivity between the Stepping Stones Museum for Children and the proposed Waypoint project. Always concerned with place-making, Bruce has also recreated the village center of Rowayton Connecticut, where he has kept alive an endangered species of the 21st century, the small town. His contextual architecture has nurtured the unique village character of the community and has reinforced the romantic mythology of the pace. Rather than allow the village to be destroyed by indifferent development and big box competition, his work has fostered renewal and resulted in a revitalized community. Bruce has acted as a visiting critic at the University of Colorado, and Yale University. He is licensed in Connecticut and Massachusetts and is certified by the National Council of Architectural Review Boards. He has served as Treasurer to the Connecticut Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, on the board of directors for the Housing Development Fund of Fairfield County and the Stepping Stones Museum for Children.
