Letter: Kevin Moynihan for First Selectman

By |

Dear Editor,

I back Kevin Moynihan’s second term based on his track record of accomplishment. As a conservation-minded citizen, Kevin shepherded the Land Acquisition Fund ordinance through the Town Council. With the conception of the Waveny Park Conservancy, Kevin showed his support for the preservation and stewardship of open space through both private and public means. The Land Acquisition Fund will help maintain the scenic rural character of our village—as clearly laid out in the Plan for Conservation and Development. Regular funding is now part of our budget process based on the understanding that strategic land acquisition opportunities (think 600+ acres of Water Company lands) come about irregularly and are lost forever if not addressed in a timely, prepared manner.

Letter: Colm Dobbyn for Town Council

To the Editor:

I don’t often write letters endorsing candidates because, like many of you who have lived and volunteered in this town for several decades, we are friends, neighbors, and volunteers who work and live harmoniously for 364 days of the year. 

On Election Day, however, we must decide among many well-qualified candidates from both sides. Some vote strictly by party, others do not. For this year’s race I highly recommend Colm Dobbyn for Town Council. He has lived in New Canaan for 26 years, has served on Inland Wetlands Commission for 14 years, while raising two children and brings to the table a sharp analytical mind. Colm can focus on the issues, rather than play politics. His only agenda is to do the best he can to serve all of us to make New Canaan a fine community. According to the town website, the primary responsibilities of Town Council encompass bylaws, ordinances and approval of appropriations.  These are all skill sets that Colm Dobbyn possesses.

Letter: Cristina A. Ross for Town Council

By |

I strongly recommend incumbent Cristina Aguirre-Ross for Town Council. Cristina’s experience in town is unparalleled. She was initially appointed to the Open Space and Conservation Committee and later appointed to the Parks and Recreation Commission. After serving ten years on the Commission, the Republican Town Committee endorsed Cristina to serve on Town Council. Cristina’s experience as a licensed architect brings tremendous value to our Town.

Letter: Mark Grzymski for Town Council

By |

I write this letter in support of Mark Grzymski for Town Council. I have been a lifelong Republican but fully endorse and support the candidacy of Mark Grzymski. I have known Mark for roughly six years as a friend and neighbor. We both have kids in the public school system and place a significant premium on it. Through the years we’ve had many conversations on the important agenda items New Canaan faces now and in the future, including the continued success of our schools, the need to prudently invest in the future, and remain a safe place new families desire to move to.
