Letter: First Selectman Candidate Kevin Moynihan Has ‘Vision, Integrity, Experience and Tenacity’

By |

In my 38 years as a New Canaan resident, I cannot remember a time when we have had a better qualified candidate for First Selectman than Kevin Moynihan. His experience as a corporate attorney and his active involvement on the Town Council and in many civic organizations create a great background to lead our town

In these times with our state in dismal financial straits, we need more than ever a strong First Selectman to protect New Canaan’s interests in every possible way. With our local problems of inadequate cellular service and the needs for more commuter parking, natural gas and affordable senior housing, Kevin has already studied the issues, thinking “inside and outside the box.” He is informed and ready to work with others in town government to get solutions to the issues. With his vision, integrity, experience and tenacity, Kevin Moynihan will be a “doer”—which is just what New Canaan needs. Jane Campbell

Letter: A Call for Independents To Vote Kit Devereaux for First Selectman

By |

Editor, New Canaanite:

Independent voters can make the difference in this election, but only if you vote. You have shown that you are above party politics by remaining unaffiliated, now demonstrate your judgment by voting for Kit Devereaux for First Selectman. This intensely contested election has brought calls by Republicans to abandon party politics and vote for Kit because she is the most qualified, accomplished and able candidate. I applaud them. But Republicans are not the only powerful voters in New Canaan.

Letter: Republican Town Council Candidates Are ‘Excellent’

By |

Editor, New Canaanite:

We are fortunate to have four excellent Republican candidates for Town Council. Penny Young has been a major contributor to the town for many years. She brings institutional memory with a deep understanding of our town government. Penny has always been a strong proponent of fiscal responsibility in government. Tom Butterworth’s background as an attorney enables him to think carefully through issues.
