I have had the pleasure of knowing State Rep Candidate Kim Healy and her family for many years and I am proud to call her my friend. She is a thoughtful and dedicated Selectman for the Town of Wilton, and this experience places her head and shoulders above her opponent. She clearly understands the implications that the state’s legislation, one size fits all policies, and many unfunded mandates have had on our towns and our residents. As an appointed member of the State’s Reading Leadership Implementation Council, she worked collaboratively with her peers to ensure that the concerns of the higher performing districts like New Canaan and their requests for waivers were understood. She collaborated on a bi-partisan basis to ensure residents and school leadership knew what was happening with their controversial bills and fought for waivers for our communities.
Aside from her direct public service for our towns, Kim has always been a consistent and proven advocate for local control – on both education and zoning AND she is on the record voicing those concerns by testifying in Hartford on behalf of our communities to support and protect local control. We know where Kim stands – she has a proven and reliable record that shows she cares about these issues – it is not just lip service.
Aside from a proven record of public service and her stance on issues that matter to our town, Kim has the professional experience as a former CPA and a volunteer tax preparer for elderly residents. Kim is principled, dedicated, thoughtful and always prepared. Kim does her homework and rightfully expects that decisions being made in Hartford fully consider the consequences of those policies, and that the costs of such projects are properly reflected for within the state budget. Most importantly Kim is focused on workable solutions, and always has the best interests of her community at heart, not party ideology.
Kim is proven and tested leader, whose actions show that she will work tirelessly to ensure the interests of our towns are well represented in Hartford. Vote for Kim HEALY for State Rep., to best represent New Canaan’s interests in Hartford.
