This is such a thoughtful letter, Parker. As a combat veteran myself, it was the privilege of my lifetime to serve in uniform and I know veterans deeply appreciate support of their service. Thank you!
Your letter is so spot on, Peter. I couldn't agree more! Unfortunately we too often see Republican candidates dodging key values-based questions regarding the leader of their party. The common retort is "I'm focused on Newtown" when they really mean "I refuse to go on the record saying anything critical of Donald Trump." I personally believe the values held by candidates should be a key consideration in voter's minds. And today, we can learn a lot about the values of candidates up-and-down the ballot based upon how they are reacting to these national issues.
Thank you so much Holly!! Your thoughtful and generous words truly mean so much.
Working alongside Bruce has been such an honor, and I learned a great deal from his leadership and deep commitment to Newtown.
Mike and I feel incredibly lucky to be raising our family here, and I’m grateful for friends like you who care so deeply about our community!
