Letter: Town Treasurer Andrew Brooks ‘Has Grown in Office’

By |

As NC Republican Town Committee Chairman from 2010-2014, I have been pleasantly surprised how our current twice elected Town Treasurer Andrew Brooks, has grown in office. After a stint teaching low-income students with AmeriCorps and brandishing his Economics degree from Brandeis University; this town native who was  first elected in 2013, revamped the Town Treasurer’s role and brought it into the modern age with little  support from Town Hall. Andrew has really made a difference in our town government and has utilized his professional experience at two prestigious consulting firms working with Fortune 500 clients assisting them in  effectively managing regulatory change and strategic initiatives. If you are a voter who is worried about their tax burden; you should be supportive and grateful that Treasurer Brooks was able to increase our investment earnings by over one million real dollars the past few years. It also appears that Andrew has the support of the NC Audit Committee and has worked closely with them to right the chronic deficiencies that we experienced under our prior Finance Director; who abruptly left New Canaan’s town hall without a clear explanation of the terms of her departure.

Letter: Moynihan the Right Choice for First Selectman

By |

New Canaan Republicans that I know have a thirst for new faces and approaches to vexing issues that are confronting our community. That thirst can soon be quenched by voting for Kevin J. Moynihan! “Change” is always a powerful force in elections and after six years I strongly believe it’s “time for a change” in New Canaan’s red brick town hall. Kevin J. Moynihan, a 36-year resident and current member of Town Council, has respectively announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination of the office of first selectman. In my observations, Kevin is running a very issues oriented campaign and has comported himself aadmirably since his big announcement.
