To the Editor:

As taxpayers and residents of Newtown for over 30 years, we have seen many political candidates come and go… along with changes in the issues they might believe and represent. One constant for Newtown has been the hard work and leadership of Jim Gaston, Sr.

Jim served ten years as vice chairperson for the Board of Finance and is now completing his four-year term as a selectman. These years of volunteer service proves he knows our town and how it works.

Jim is a man of truthfulness. You may not agree with some of the issues he supports, but his decisions are based on facts and evidence (not personal agendas) — you can’t argue with the truth!

As Newtown enters the coming years with questions on the community center, the number of schools in our town, capital improvements, and the overall education and town budget, Jim Gaston, Sr, will continue to do the best for our residents and our community.

We plan to vote for Jim Gaston, Sr, for the Board of Finance.

Sincerely

Mary Pat and David Frobey
