We have known Mike Rodgers in many contexts in our eleven years in New Canaan. He has been our good neighbor, a fellow school parent – from East School through NCHS, a community volunteer and a deacon at the Congregational Church. Across all of these roles and in all our interactions, Mike has demonstrated a commitment to the community and a willingness to work to help others. We heartily endorse Mike for Town Council. If elected, we know he will speak candidly and work diligently for our town.
Kristin and Michael Reed
Being a Regan Democrat — who started to vote republican
I still have Democratic values — I change to republican cause
when I moved here 38 yrs ago went to a democrat caucus only 29 people there 6 were running for office
went to a republican caucus 1,600 people — so if you want your vote to count you change parties
Democrats still get a voice — state law mandates that the minority Pary get 33% representations on TC’s and BOS — so you will never see 12 out of 12 republicans on the TC
Things have changed today more independents — but they cannot affect
their will on who gets picked to run
they should think about that — or have open primaries
All the people running are good people — but we have to hear from them on how they would vote on Issue — like the 300 million for the 4th school
I will be sending a letter of endorsement soon which will tell you to vote for all incumbents first — and the reason why —
and yes, good luck to Mike Rogers
