To the Editor

Newtown voters will be making important decisions on November 3, not the least of which is the choice of our next Judge of Probate. It is clear that attorney Tim Holian is the best choice for the position.

I knew Tim’s parents, John and Mary, both of whom made wonderful contributions to our town. John Holian, among other civic activities, was a state representative and a judge of the town court for many years, as well as conducting a very active law practice. Mary Holian was a longtime member of the Newtown Visiting Nurse Association and a trustee of the C.H. Booth Library, as well as participating in many other community activities.

Tim has followed his parents’ example of dedication to serving the public as a former ten-year member and vice chairman of the Legislative Council, and a former member of the Conservation Commission, as well as numerous other community activities.

Tim is also a longtime practitioner of law in Newtown. He is professional in his demeanor, knowledgeable, compassionate, and understanding. He has been involved in all aspects of probate law. He will make an excellent Judge of Probate for Newtown now, and will be an excellent candidate for the same position in the new, larger district of Newtown, Bethel, Ridgefield, and Redding next year. Let’s plan for this year and next by electing Tim Holian Judge of Probate.

Sincerely,

Jack H. Rosenthal
