I have had the pleasure of knowing Kit Devereaux for nearly twenty years. When I was first elected to the Town Council, I was very fortunate to have Kit as a mentor. Not only was her knowledge extensive, her recollection of procedures and policies were very accurate, and most importantly, her ability to problem solve with those that offered a different viewpoint was so very natural.
With over two decades of extensive community service, both elective and volunteered, Kit has given so very much to the New Canaan community. I had the honor of nominating Kit as the Democratic candidate for First Selectman this past July. With her acceptance, we now have the unique opportunity to elect a true public servant to the highest office of our town government.
For those of you who have not yet had the pleasure of getting to know Kit, please trust that she is collaborative, honest, transparent, hard working, and an effective communicator. In closing, a vote for Kit Devereaux is a promise that “your voice” will be heard when all decisions are made that affect our town. There will be no “backdoor meeting” and the business of the town will be done in the eye’s of the public.
In closing, I am asking all voters to consider supporting a person who has always supported the taxpayers of New Canaan. Please join me in voting for Kit Devereaux for First Selectman on November 7th.
