To The Editor:

My name is Ben Ruben, and I am thrilled to be running for re-election to represent Newtown’s 3rd District of the Legislative Council. As a proud Connecticut native and a Newtown resident since 2021, I live in town with my wonderful wife, Nina, our two children and our playful French Bulldog.

The last two years have been a privilege for me representing the residents of District 3 on the Legislative Council. I am Vice-Chair of the Education Committee and a member of the Ordinance Committee.

As neighbors and colleagues, service on the Legislative Council is a shared responsibility. I am always committed to working together, setting aside partisan differences to thoughtfully manage the community’s tax dollars. I approach each decision with the same care and diligence as if I were spending my own family’s money. Always motivated to do what is best for our town.

I have worked tirelessly to protect my motto “Keeping Newtown Affordable for ALL.”

For those who built it, those raising families, and those yet to come! My voting record on tough issues has always had the best intentions for my neighbors while serving you the last two years. It would be an honor to go back to the Legislative Council for a second term to fight for YOU!

As the 2025 fall campaign season unfolds, please do not hesitate to stop and say hello. I genuinely enjoy meeting the wonderful people who make this amazing place home. It really is Nicer in Newtown.

I ask for your support again on November 4th in my candidacy for re-election to the Legislative Council representing District 3.

Ruben 4 Results!
