Dear Editor/(Reader):
I’m writing to support and endorse Amy Murphy Carroll for First Selectman for the town of New Canaan. I have known Amy for many years in several capacities. As a mother, soccer mom, and friend. She is well-educated, has had a successful business career, and is very intelligent. OK, so I may have just described most of the women here in New Canaan, so let me tell you why I think she will be a good First Selectman:
Aside from her many town-oriented volunteer activities, serving on committees, and her service to the town on the Finance Committee, I have personally worked with and seen Amy in business settings (several times) and have gained a deep respect for her. She is a fair-minded, clear-thinking professional who respects people and provides leadership without a heavy hand. She is someone I would trust to execute due and accurate process, while never shying away from asking the necessary tough questions.
She will hit the ground running, ready to go on day one given her extensive involvement with the budget, so she will not need a learning curve.
In my view, she is the most qualified candidate.
I know she shares our love of New Canaan and will strive to give us her very best without using “politics” as a crutch or hinderance. I truly believe that she is very capable and qualified to run and manage this town, and I know she will be inclusive, determined and forthright.
Amy Murphy Carroll will be an excellent choice as a First Selectman!
Sincerely,
Dave Torromeo
