To the Editor:

This letter is to endorse the candidacy of Robert J. Edwards for the Legislative Council, District 2.

Bob has lived in Newtown for 22 years. He is an educator at the university level and with his wife Donna, who is also an educator, had his two daughters come up through the Newtown Public School System. He was a consultant for Newtown officials in the development of the town’s first website. In 2000, he was consultant to the Newtown Police Department in the upgrade of the computer system. By running for the Legislative Council, Bob continues to show his commitment to his community. He has the unique ability to clarify the ways in which Newtown can be run efficiently and responsibly in all areas of operations. His business experience and leadership skills are assets that District 2 residents cannot afford to pass up.

In addition, Bob is a caring individual who wholeheartedly believes in maintaining Newtown’s integrity while meeting the needs of its citizens. As such, the residents of District 2 would serve themselves well by voting for Robert J. Edwards.

Sincerely,

Allison Bloom
