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.
Jeff I am glad you will remain active in local politics and continues the good work of making our town a better place. Your commitment, leadership, and thoughtful approach have been a real asset to Newtown. Thank you for your service.
