To the Editor:

My name is Prerna Rao, and I am running for reelection to the Zoning Board of Appeals. I have served on the ZBA over the last two years, and it has been an honor and a pleasure to do so, and I hope to earn your vote so I can continue to serve. I am a lawyer whose practice includes land use and zoning, and this is one way I can contribute to our town’s development while also helping to preserve its incredible appeal and character.

Newtown has been my home since 2015, and I live here with my husband, Alex, and my son, Pax. As soon as we put down roots, we were welcomed by everyone with incredible warmth, which is what inspired me to get and stay involved. I hope and believe my experience and skills can continue to be an asset for Newtown.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Prerna Rao
