On Election Day, I will be casting my ballot for Richard Townsend to become a member of New Canaan’s town council.
Rich and his wife Cathy were two of the first welcoming members of New Canaan when we were considering moving to town and began attending the United Methodist Church three years ago. Rich is a dedicated member of our choir and helps run the monthly outings for New Canaan’s presence at Habitat for Humanity building houses in Bridgeport.
Rich is always encouraging but never pushy to gather us to join him on a given Saturday to help with Habitat. I often see him walking around town and sometimes bump into him on Elm Street; he’s always in the best of moods.
His wife Cathy, one of the librarians in the New Canaan Library’s children’s room, told me he’s been educating himself and speaking to many people around town about the issues of cell towers, commuter’s parking and keeping taxes low to attract young families like ours to the community. Rich is a man of high ethics and dedicated to making the best decisions for the future success of New Canaan.
If elected, you would be able to reach out to him with your concerns and views and he will listen.
Submitted with kind regards,
Laura McGeary
New Canaan
