To The Editor:

I want to thank the voters of Newtown’s First District for their support in this year’s election. It is an honor to once again serve on the Legislative Council.

As I return to this role, my focus remains on maintaining Newtown’s small-town character while ensuring that our town government operates efficiently and effectively. I will work to balance careful budgeting with continued investment in the people and programs that make Newtown such a special place to call home.

I will continue to advocate for decisions guided by facts, collaboration, and common sense — not partisanship. Together, we can keep Newtown a community that values both its traditions and its future.

Thank you again for your confidence and trust. I look forward to serving you and working to keep Newtown a place we can all be proud to call home.

Christopher Eide

Legislative Council, District 1
