To the Editor:
Typically I am not one to write endorsement letters for local politicians nor do I vote party lines. What the candidate has done for Newtown in the past is very important and whether their professional experience will help them in the position they are seeking is also an issue I attempt to investigate. Lastly I look at their personal lifestyle and family views.
Jim Gaston fits these qualifications and is worthy of recognition:
Jim is currently a Board of Finance member and is the warden of the Borough of Newtown.
Jim owns his own law firm in Bridgeport
The entire Gaston family, on a daily basis, does for others and the town but do not take credit or talk about it â it is just their way â giving to others.
My vote goes to Jim Gaston for third selectman!
Thanks for reading.
Sincerely,
