Submitted by Joseph Smith

“Stop the High Rises!”  “Don’t Vote for ‘Hartford Hector’!”

Yes, Greenwich voters, be afraid of legislative ineptitude and cronyism. Ignore the Republican fear mongers and vote what’s truly best for Greenwich: vote Democrat, Row A all the way!

Editor’s note The deadline to submit LTEs about candidates in the Nov 5, 2024 election for consideration was Oct. 29, 2024.
