To the Editor,

It is with great pleasure that I endorse Independent Party Candidates Po Murry, Gary Davis, and Mike Mossbarger for Legislative Council in District 2. These three candidates lead by example in all aspects of their lives. They are my friends, generous neighbors and rare individuals who are well balanced, stand up for what is right, and deliver results .

Po Murray is dedicated, passionate and persistent. She fights for what she believes in with strong convictions and true integrity. Her focus and passion around long-term planning will allow our community to grow. As with everything in her life, Po cares deeply for Newtown.

She fights for better school and town improvement projects, while encouraging communication and accountability. She is a role model, devoted mother of four, and a generous neighbor and true friend.

Gary Davis is a committed community-oriented individual who possesses a keen awareness of the long and short term needs of our town. He focuses on communication between government and citizens to form a more transparent, accountable government.

Mike Mossbarger brings solid financial, executive and business management experience to our town. His dynamic background enables him to provide direction during these uncertain economic times while infusing a fresh, new perspective in our community — making this dynamic trio unstoppable.

These dedicated individuals have the integrity and ethics, and the ability to leverage their diverse backgrounds to ensure our community thrives in the years ahead. I am proud to call them my friends, neighbors and role models. Please join me this coming election and vote for the Independent Party of Newtown Po Murry, Gary Davis and Mike Mossbarger, Legislative Council Candidates for District 2.
