To the Editor:

I would like to urge the people of Newtown to reelect Debbie Aurelia to the position of town clerk. Debbie has proven her dedication to both the citizens of Newtown and to the job of town clerk.

Debbie trained for the job of town clerk by serving as assistant to former Town Clerk Cynthia Simon. She had on-the-job training while she learned from Cindy all the particulars of the job. During that time she attended the Town Clerk’s Academy for 2½ years and attained her Connecticut State certification, as well as her international certification.

The ever-changing state mandates, as well as the hundreds of every day statutory jobs that a town clerk must perform, require an experienced person; dedicated to their career and to the people they serve. Debbie has proven she has that dedication and deserves your vote.
