Dear Sir or Madam,
As a member of the New Canaan Democratic Town Committee, I urge your readers to support our Democratic slate this fall. Amy Murphy Carroll, candidate for First Selectman, has more than 30 years’ experience in municipal finance, served nearly a decade on the Board of Finance, and has delivered major capital projects on time and under budget while volunteering across town.
On the Town Council, Hilary Ormond brings an emphasis on good governance and transparency. Lina Lee, the Executive Director of the Connecticut Bar Association, combines legal expertise with a commitment to responsible growth. Long‑time resident Mike Rodgers offers business acumen and a history of community service. Heather Russell, a seasoned communications professional, champions strong schools, sustainable development and transparent governance.
For Board of Education, incumbent Erica Schwedel has 15+ years of volunteer service and a term as board secretary. Attorney Josh Kaye brings two decades of legal experience and a passion for public education. Kate Brambilla supports seniors through her work at Staying Put and leads school‑based sustainability efforts.
These candidates embody experience, transparency and service. Please join me in voting for Amy Murphy Carroll for First Selectman; Hilary Ormond, Lina Lee, Mike Rodgers and Heather Russell for Town Council; and Erica Schwedel, Josh Kaye and Kate Brambilla for Board of Education.
Best,
Luke Cohler
