To the Editor:

Newtown needs, and quite frankly deserves, a state representative who not only has the knowledge and values to represent Newtown in the House of Representatives, but also a state representative who is articulate, honest, and thorough in every aspect of the work.

Rebekah Harriman-Stites is the best person for the job, and I fully endorse her candidacy to serve as Newtown’s State Representative in the Connecticut House of Representatives.

Rebekah’s readiness and suitability for the job is best measured by her fierce and unapologetic advocacy for Newtown’s children, youth, and families. As a mother, small business owner, and a member of Newtown’s Board of Education, Rebekah has demonstrated a keen awareness of the issues and a strong commitment to ensuring both the challenges and hopes of Newtown residents are front and center in Hartford.

Newtown will be well-served by Rebekah’s compassion, command of the issues, and courageous advocacy, and I urge you to vote for her for State Representative on November 6.

Respectfully,

Christopher Lyddy
