To the editor:

State Rep. Matt Blumenthal, a Stamford native who represents the 147th District, is up for reelection this fall. Matt has military experience and a legal background which give him a unique perspective in Hartford. He is fiscally responsible and has supported our businesses, while rejecting the shift in teacher pensions to local municipalities. He supports science-based decision-making that has led our state to be a leader in keeping our COVID-19 infection rate low. He has improved public safety with gun laws, and helped state residents by supporting Absentee Ballots for all Connecticut residents this year.

To the editor:

I am writing to offer my support for Terrie Wood for state representative. Terrie always takes the time to listen to the concerns of her constituents. I greatly appreciate her practical focus on ending years of fiscal mismanagement in Hartford, which has left one of the wealthiest states in the nation a fiscal disaster. Terrie’s other priorities for her next term are desperately needed right now: rebuilding the local economy with a focus on small businesses, addressing the needs of our education system and the importance of local control of schools, and ending top down control in Hartford so that the voices of the citizens are heard and respected. Terrie Wood is a true public servant, focused on the needs of her community rather than on her own political agenda, and I am proud to support her re-election.

Hi Terrie;

As you know, Julie and I now live in Madison and, sadly, no longer represented by Terrie Wood. That said, I continue to follow your efforts in Hartford with admiration for your bi-partisan efforts to improve life in CT. We are life-long Republicans. Julie’s father was a delegate to the 1964 Republican National Convention, an ardent supporter of Berry Goldwater. We were shocked when Trump was nominated and catatonic on election night when he came down that golden escalator.

To the editor:

Our gratitude, trust and vote once again goes to Terrie Woods for state representative. Terrie always has Darien’s back and is tireless in pursuing the right course and resources for our wonderful town. She is known for practicing fiscal prudence and will work hard to ensure the recovery, viability and success of our local merchants and small businesses. Terrie brings soundness, sensibility, honesty and ethics to our local government, something that should appeal to all Darien residents regardless of their political affiliation. Please join us and support Terrie Wood for state rep in the November election.

To the editor:

While media headlines focus on the extraordinary challenges of these times, we might easily inadvertently overlook the distinctive challenges we share as Connecticut residents. Working to engineer a promising path for Connecticut at large, while delivering our voice in Hartford is hard work — addressed effectively — by Terrie Wood, our state representative. A commonsense, collaborative leader who is recognized for her interest in listening and understanding, Terrie brings promise relative to the interests we share in legislation and policy devised in Hartford. Below the current headlines, Terrie brings an undaunted sense of purpose in forging a course that will restore an affordable outlook for our residents and for our businesses. Terrie’s focus on tax policy, behavioral health, education, and our environment, paired with protecting local control of our schools and public planning are vital to protecting the attributes we relish.

The Darien Library and the Leagues of Women Voters of Darien and New Canaan will present “Voting During Covid 19,” an online discussion featuring Secretary of the State Denise Merrill, on Thursday, Sept. 10. Americans have a superpower: voting. Democracy’s most constructive mechanism for self-improvement, voting is every citizen’s right, privilege, and civic duty. So how can we make sure we vote safely during COVID-19?

To the editor,

I’m pleased to announce that I will be running again for state representative in the 141st district — Darien, Norwalk and Rowayton. I am truly honored to have served these past years and look again to bring my legislative experience in Hartford to bear on solving the challenges we now all face right here. We live in very different and challenging times. Many of us have adapted with a compassionate understanding of the many complexities brought on by the coronavirus. While witnessing such widespread negative impact, I see positives, as well, with our citizens genuinely working together like I’ve not seen in many years.
