To the Editor:

I am writing to express my strong support for John Lyons for West Hartford Town Council. Many of us know John as the “Facebook Weatherman” who keeps our town informed with accurate, timely, and reliable updates but he’s so much more than that.

John is a true community builder. He’s the person who got me involved in local government and helped me feel more connected to West Hartford by introducing me to residents and bringing me along to town events. Whether volunteering, engaging neighbors in conversation, or helping people find common ground, John leads with kindness, authenticity, and a genuine love for this town.

What I admire most about John is his consistency, he’s the same person whether he’s online, out in the community, or spending time with his family. He listens with respect, acts with integrity, and treats everyone with fairness and care. When I need clarity or answers, he’s the person I turn to, and he always delivers them directly and respectfully.

For me, this election isn’t about being Republican or Democrat, it’s about choosing the person you trust. John represents an opportunity to step away from divisive rhetoric and step forward with a candidate who values collaboration, respect, and positive change.

I trust John Lyons, and I believe West Hartford can too. I encourage my fellow residents to join me in supporting John Lyons for Town Council, a leader who embodies heart, honesty, and community spirit.

Sincerely,

Emily Tyson
West Hartford
