Wilton Letter to the Editor from Toni Boucher

Volunteering for local town boards takes great sacrifice away from one’s job and family.  But It is also where 90 percent of our democracy takes place. We are fortunate this year to have stellar candidates step up. Josh Cole, our current second Selectman, is running for reelection and Lori Bufano, a former Selectman and Planning and Zoning member is running for Board of Education. They are both extremely well thought of and respected.

Josh Cole is a 16-year Wilton resident and a product of its public school system. He is an experienced leader who never violates the town charter and the rules of good governance. He also gets my vote for the best dad ever.

Lori Bufano has lived in Wilton since 1973 and previously served on the Zoning Board of Appeals and Planning and Zoning Commission. She has served four years on the Board of Selectmen. She is a passionate education advocate who will bring the wise and steady leadership that the education community is seeking.

These candidates are trustworthy, calm, fair and have always conducted themselves in a respectful and civil manner. That is what we need in Wilton! Please vote them into office on November 7!
