To the Editor:

Please join us for a meet and greet on Sunday, September 25, from 1:30 to 4:30 pm, at Treadwell Park Pavilion, 39 Philo Curtis Road, and meet the Democratic candidates:

Eva Zimmerman - 106th District Conn. State Representative

Eva brings a wealth of organizing experience. She has testified countless times in front of the General Assembly on pending legislation and it is time we had someone in Hartford to work for all of Newtown.

Phil Dwyer - 28th District Conn. State Senate

The 28th State Senate district covers Easton, Fairfield, Newtown, Wilton, and Westport. Phil Dwyer's years of dedication to public service at the YMCA and as chair of the Fairfield Board of Education highlight his fiscal common sense and forward thinking as he has serviced families and communities in need for more than 20 years.

LeReine Frampton - Newtown Registrar of Voters

LeReine is currently the Democratic Registrar of Voters and has been for quite some time. She ensures that the processes run smoothly and each voter gets to have their say at the ballot. When there are challenges, she meets them head on and works with the Secretary of the State's office to ensure that Newtown's elections run as they should.

Sharon Wicks Dornfield - Probate Judge for District 45 (Newtown, Ridgefield, Redding and Bethel)

Probate judges are there for families when there are challenges that require sensitivity, understanding, and foresight. Sharon has been an attorney working in the probate system for years. She has firsthand knowledge of the court system and the complex issues that are facing families seeking help from the courts.

Raghib Allie-Brennen - 2nd Conn. Assembly District

A small slice of Newtown will have the chance to vote for Raghib Allie-Brennen in the 2nd Conn. Assembly District. Raghib has been active as a legislative aide at the federal level, which has given him the background to know how to advocate for his constituents.

Appetizers will be served. Suggested donation is $25. So join us. Meet the candidates. Vote on Tuesday, November 8, with knowledge.

Sincerely,

Maureen Crick Owen

Treasurer, Eva for Newtown
