To The Editor:
I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to the residents of Newtown for placing your trust in me and electing me as your First Selectman. It is an incredible honor to serve this community, and I am humbled by the opportunity to help guide Newtown into the future.
Your support means everything to me, and I am committed to working tirelessly on your behalf. Together, we will preserve what makes Newtown special while embracing thoughtful progress that benefits all residents. I look forward to listening, collaborating, and leading with transparency and integrity.
Thank you again for your confidence in me. I am excited for what lies ahead and proud to serve the town we all love.
Bruce Walczak
First Selectman-elect
Newtown
While I appreciate Mr. Walczak’s message of gratitude, I would be remiss not to express my concern about the tone and tactics of his campaign. The approach he took during this election is not one I would be proud of, and I hope that moving forward, he chooses to lead with the transparency and integrity he now speaks of.
Newtown deserves a leader who communicates openly and follows through on the issues that truly matter to our residents. I have been disappointed by his silence on several key matters impacting our town, and I sincerely hope that changes as he takes office.
I remain doubtful that he is up to the challenge ahead—but for the sake of our community, I truly hope time proves me wrong.
