To the editor:Jayme Stevenson, a Republican candidate for the 4th Congressional District in the primary on Tuesday, Aug. 9, is our best chance to have a voice in Washington on what matters most to us. Jayme led Darien for 10 years in a way that made her name synonymous with expertise.  In her role as first selectman of Darien, Jayme extended her hand to helping Connecticut towns like ours through her leadership role with the Connecticut Council of Municipalities. As chairman of Western Council of Governments, Jayme showed she can work with small towns and big cities on regional issues.  As a candidate for lieutenant governor a few years ago, Jayme became well known in state politics.As a candidate for U.S. Congress, Jayme is continuing her roles as a strong proponent of Darien and Fairfield County, and as a practical, hard working, and dedicated representative of core values that make our country the true leader of the free world.Jayme is a great candidate we can all support, and she can win.  Join me in supporting Jayme for U.S. Congress. Sincerely,Monica McNallyEditor’s note: Monica McNally is Darien’s current first selectman.
