To the editor:

I’m writing in support of Sarah Neumann for the Board of  Selectman.  I have known Sarah since I moved to Darien in 2012. She is a caring member of our community who always steps up to volunteer her time and take on leadership roles. Sarah has been president of the Junior League where she received multiple hours of training in leadership and working with volunteers. She has held numerous committee chair positions in our PTOs including president at two schools and is a current member of the RTM. We need to vote for Sarah to be a leader for our community.

To the editor,

I endorse David Martin’s candidacy to be a member of Darien’s Board of Selectmen. Having served with David on the Representative Town Meeting’s nonpartisan Finance and Budget (F&B) Committee he possesses those qualities so important to public service; namely, placing the interests of the town and taxpayers first, thoughtfulness, and a demonstrable work ethic. He cares to do right by the town and its various constituencies while being mindful of quality of life and financial considerations. With years spent in financial services, he can be counted on to apply his experience to help advance the interests of us all. On a personal level, he is a great team member and possesses a skilled hand when engaging others in matters of scale and scope.

To the Editor,

I am writing this letter to express my strong support for Sarah Neumann’s candidacy for the Board of Selectmen. Sarah and I met over five years ago while serving on the Executive Board of the Middlesex Parents Association, a position she held while also co-chair of the Hindley Parents Association. Since then we have worked together on the Executive Board of the Darien High School Parents Association and the RTM Education Committee. Sarah is well versed in the budget process, particularly that of the Board of Education, which comprises approximately 70% of the town’s total budget. One of Sarah’s many strengths is her thoughtfulness and ability to work across the aisle to achieve positive results for the greater good of the Darien community.

To the editor,

I am writing this letter to express my support for Sarah Neumann as a candidate for the Board of Selectmen. Sarah and I are neighbors, and met years ago when our children were at Hindley Elementary School. She was the co-chair of the Hindley PTO when I chaired the Hindley Green Committee. She was always supportive, enthusiastic and open to new ideas. In her roles as chair of both the Hindley and Darien High School PTOs, I watched her capably manage the responsibilities of the role, while making sure everyone felt included and supported.
