To the Editor:

We urge everyone in District 1 to join us in fully supporting Kevin Fitzgerald for a seat on the Legislative Council. Kevin is a longtime Newtowner who we have known for years as a caring parent, advocate for open space and our natural environment, supporter of our school children and teachers, proponent of the first amendment, and steadfast patriot.

While we are strong supporters of the Democratic Party, we feel compelled to cast our votes for Kevin as a breath of fresh air on the Legislative Council who will work tirelessly to ensure transparency in government and prudent fiscal policy in Newtown. We encourage everyone is District 1 to do the same.

Joel and Carolyn Faxon
