Why do people choose to make their home in New Canaan—and why do they stay? The answers say much about how our town has been governed, and our confidence in its future: responsible, reasonable and respectful. Our schools are a major reason families choose New Canaan.

Please join me in supporting Josh Kaye for election to New Canaan’s Board of Education. With his legal training, Josh will provide the Board with this essential skill, which it is losing as lawyer Penny Rashin rolls off after 18 years of service. Josh is dedicated to working with our exceptional administration, and his legal training will be critical as NCPSs face the challenges the future of education will necessarily present.

I am endorsing Pavla Levin for a seat on the New Canaan Town Council. My experience on the Town Council taught me that an effective town councilor needs 2 characteristics: the ability to work on a team and the willingness to spend your time studying issues and bringing your experience and skills to bear. Simply showing up at the meetings, listening to presentations, and voting is not acceptable.

Scott Gress is running for the Town Council this November. I fully support Scott for this position. There are a number of reasons for my vote.
Scott grew up in this town and knows it very well. He and his wife Susan have raised their three boys here and sent them through our public school system. Scott spent eight years on the Board of Education with two years as Vice Chairman. He also has spent four years on the Parks and Recreation Commission serving as the Chairman. Scott was also Chairman of the Youth Commission. Thankfully, Scott has volunteered to run and is totally qualified. Please vote for Sott for Town Council in November.
