To The Editor:

Newtown is more than just a place on a map — it’s our home. And when you love a place deeply, you want to see it thrive. That’s why I’m proud to support Arnie Berman for the Legislative Council. He’s not just a candidate — he’s a force for good.

Arnie leads with purpose. As a dedicated member of the Newtown Lions Club, he’s rolled up his sleeves to organize efforts like the “Stuff-a-Truck” food drive, making sure families in need feel the strength of our community. On the Economic Development Commission, he’s worked to grow local businesses and build a future that’s both smart and sustainable.

But what truly sets Arnie apart is his blend of heart and expertise. A Brown University graduate with years of experience as a top strategist on Wall Street, he brings sharp insight into budgets, planning, and long-term vision. He knows how to turn ideas into action — and action into impact.

Arnie listens. He shows up. He brings people together. Whether it’s a town hall or a food drive, he’s there — not for the spotlight, but because he cares.

Newtown deserves a leader who sees the big picture and never loses sight of the people in it. Arnie Berman is that leader. Let’s vote for someone who believes in service, who acts with integrity, and who inspires us to build a stronger, kinder, more connected community.

Let’s vote for Arnie — and let’s build the future we believe in.
