To the Editor:

I am proud to write this letter of endorsement for Paul Lundquist, my husband, who is running for Legislative Council in District 1. Paul has a considerable history of service and dedication to Newtown. He is currently serving his fourth term on the legislative Council, and for the past two years, he has accepted the added commitment of serving as chairman.

Paul’s focus is local, inclusive, and positive. He values the rural and neighborly character of our town. He strives to keep issues Newtown-focused, not driven by political affiliation. Paul always considers the input of others, whether they share his point of view or not. He has a track record that shows his dedication to issues like education, public safety, and town infrastructure.

As Paul’s wife of 21 years, I can describe the personal qualities of his character that make him an excellent choice for councilman. First and foremost, Paul is a good person. He is the kind of man you want not only as a leader, but as a friend. He is caring, trustworthy, loyal, and hardworking. He is a solid, devoted husband and father. Paul is intelligent, fair, open-minded, and genuinely concerned about the people of our town. Paul is as honest and responsible a man as one could know. I can attest to the fact that he is passionate about Newtown, our home for more than two decades.

Paul Lundquist has proven his dedication to our town through his many years of service to us. Please join me in supporting him in his candidacy for Legislative Council.

Vote for Paul Lundquist, Legislative Council District 1.
