Letter: Thank You Wilton Voters

Dear friends and neighbors,
 
I want to thank you, the voters of Wilton, for doing me the honor of choosing me to represent you with the highest number of votes in the Board of Selectmen race. You looked past the high degree of partisanship in this election to vote for me, and I am very grateful. We are all Wiltonians, and the bonds we share as neighbors are far more important than any political party and always should be.
 
I must recognize Jess Christ and Jared Martin, as I am deeply disappointed that they will not be serving on the Board of Education. Despite the tactics used to oppose them, they can be proud to have conducted themselves always with grace and dignity, and I am very proud of them as well. They were tireless campaigners, and the outcome of my race would have been very different for me if it weren’t for them.  I thank everyone who worked on the campaign, especially Jake Lubel, Gail Lavielle, Bill Lalor, Toni Boucher and many others, without whom the success of so many Republicans would not have been possible.
 
There is one more point I must make, and it is of vital importance. As I said many times throughout the campaign, and during the League of Women Voters forum, Wilton residents need access to objective, factual information about how our town is run and what is happening on our boards and commissions. I am very disappointed that there is no unbiased media in this town, with consistent editorial policies. Throughout this campaign, hundreds of deeply concerned residents told me the same thing again and again. As a member of your Board of Selectmen, I will make addressing this issue one of my highest priorities once I am in office.
 
Finally, I thank my family for all your love and support, always.
 
Kim Healy
Selectman-elect
