To the Editor:

We would like to endorse Michael Mossbarger for councilman. He is running under the Independent Party. We have known Mike and his family for four years. He and his wife, Jill, volunteer a lot of their time with the youth of Newtown. He will be following in the footsteps of all three of his children, who are all in the student government at three different Newtown schools today. He is a person concerned for the future of our town and will fight to make sure our concerns are represented.

We need honest, hardworking individuals who understand the issues to make Newtown the place where we want to raise our children. Mike fits this bill. Please consider this when you step into the booth next week to place your vote.
