Letter: Rob Fryer for Treasurer

By |

Editor, New Canaanite:

New Canaan voters have the opportunity to put an accomplished CPA in office as town treasurer this November. Rob Fryer spent 34 years in the financial world as a partner at Deloitte. Numbers are not partisan, and Rob knows numbers. He knows how to follow the money coming in and going out and he knows the proper processes for how transactions should happen. With Rob Fryer as treasurer, material weaknesses would not have continued for years.

Letter: First Selectman’s Son Endorses Kit Devereaux for the Job

By |

It might seem unusual for the son of an outgoing Republican politician to sit down with the Democrat running to be his father’s successor, but on this recent rainy Columbus Day afternoon that’s exactly what happened. As we sat inside her sunroom, shielded from the weather, I was privy to the story of a remarkable woman, the person I believe most suited for the office of first selectman, Kit Devereaux. Her story was much more than a list of resume bullets and qualifications. Rather, it was the story about a courageous person who took chances when it counted, forged bonds that have stood the test of time, and daringly explored uncharted paths in life before finding the ones that led her here. So who is Kit Devereaux exactly?

Kevin Moynihan presents an outstanding choice for First Selectman. Kevin has provided leadership in a variety of roles in town, including membership on his party’s town committee and as a member of the Town Council. But these times require more. Our state is beyond broke and any local aid is in jeopardy. We need a leader who has real political experience in the major leagues.

Letter: First Selectman Candidate Kevin Moynihan ‘A True Leader’

By |

Please join me in supporting Kevin Moynihan as first selectman and the entire Republican slate as they transition into Town Hall in November. Kevin is uniquely qualified to serve as first selectman and will represent each resident as a leader on key issues. Over the 20 years that I have known Kevin and his wonderful spouse, Mim, I have been genuinely impressed by his willingness and attitude to find the underlying cause of complex issues and solving problems. His charismatic leadership, integrity, abilities and tenacity are worthy qualities. Educated at Georgetown and Boston College, Kevin retired after a successful legal career with key corporations in the financial arena. Kevin’s extensive private sector experience combined with his knowledge of local politics will serve our town very well.
