To the Editor:

 It is a pleasure to endorse Kathy Fetchick for the Legislative Council in District 2. I had the good fortune to meet Kathy when she was first considering running for office. She immediately impressed me with her sincerity regarding how she felt about Newtown. Kathy, having grown up in our beautiful town, understands firsthand the escalating changes we have had in our educational system. This knowledge has served her well previously on the Board of Education, and currently in her role as Education Committee Chairman on the Legislative Council.

I cannot think of a more qualified and valuable person to serve in this important leadership role on the council than Kathy. She has brought an impressive resume that includes a solid body of work while serving as vice chairman on the Board of Education. Kathy has never been afraid to deal with the tough issues and voice her well thought-out opinions on what is in the best interest for the entire town.

In conclusion I would like to say that Kathy balances her dedicated volunteerism with an impressive work-life balance as a mother, wife, and friend to Newtown.

Sincerely,

Bill Brimmer
