Letter to the Editor:
The Greenwich Town Clerk’s Office feels stuck in the past. Finding information often means digging through folders, chasing down PDFs, and doing what feels like college-level research just to locate a simple record. It shouldn’t be that way.
That’s why I’m supporting Meghan McCreary for Town Clerk.
Meghan isn’t a career politician—she’s a software engineer with a mission: to make our local government work for us, not against us. She co-founded 203.vote, a free, nonpartisan platform that lets residents see how their Representative Town Meeting (RTM) members vote. She understands how to turn raw data into insight and build tools that help people easily navigate complex systems.
Watching the League of Women Voters debates, I saw a clear divide between incumbents and challengers. When asked how best to fix problems, challengers offered ideas; incumbents explained why change is hard. With her expert skills, Meghan can modernize operations in the Town Clerk office, make information more accessible to you and me, and bring clarity where there’s now confusion.
Whether you’re getting a dog license, researching a land record, or applying for an absentee ballot, the process should be simple and transparent. Meghan will make it so—reducing unnecessary trips to Town Hall, shortening wait times, and ending the frustrating record-search maze.
If you believe local government should be easier to navigate, more transparent, and more responsive, vote for Meghan McCreary for Town Clerk. Let’s give Greenwich the modern, user-friendly government it deserves.
Early voting at Town Hall runs through November 2. Election Day is November 4.
Yours truly,
Lucy von Brachel
