They say all politics is local, but these days it’s sometimes hard to see it. Media coverage of national politics seems to consume every aspect of our daily lives. This November, however, when we head to the polls, it is important that we take time to focus on what really matters to us here in New Canaan: protection of local control over zoning, improving infrastructure and emergency services, maintaining educational excellence and safeguarding or treasured parks and wetlands. That is why I write to express my strong support for Pavla Levin’s candidacy for Town Council.
Pavla spent more than 30 years working in the fields of both finance and technology and brings a unique skill set to the Council. With both a master’s degree in computer science and a CFA, she is the candidate most qualified to navigate the fiscal and technological complexities facing New Canaan as we move into a new era. Pavla already serves New Canaan as Secretary of the Utilities Commission. A seat on town council will broaden the scope of the promising work she is doing to advance New Canaan’s infrastructure and emergency services.
Pavla is an active and dedicated member of CT169Strong: a grassroots organization working with citizens and local officials across the state to protect local control of zoning. New Canaan is a gem not by accident. It was created by vision, hard work and intellectual understanding of the needs of our neighborhoods within the State of Connecticut. Pavla’s blend of experience, intellect and care for our community make her the ideal candidate to serve on our Town Council. I urge my fellow residents to join me in supporting Pavla for this important position.
