To the Editor:

Kyle Zelazny

Kyle is a candidate who has a proven track record of being a great lawyer, as well as being a dedicated civil leader with a very fair way of connecting with people (whether a person agrees or disagrees with Kyle, he has a great way of being persuasive in an energetic way.) As someone who is naturally a problem-solver, he is someone that thinks about practicality whenever he tries to approach an issue. He also has been a great asset to the town governance through not only being good at what he does professionally as his service as a “risk management lawyer” to help steer the town around costly pitfalls (which essentially means he is constantly trying to make sure he doesn’t somehow create a new firestorm), but also his level of integrity to our towns local governance.

Kyle is not afraid to call people out on different issues, regardless of political party, while this gets down to the root of the issues in a calm way. While he is often out and about around town, he is not far from his beloved German Shepherd, since he is a dog lover, this is someone who shows a good sense of character! I strongly encourage you to vote for Kyle Zelazny for Town Council on Tuesday, Nov. 4!

Gayle Harris

Gayle is someone that I am glad to have on my side. Not only has she been consistent on issues year in and year out, she also is someone who also has been an established member of the West Hartford Board of Education. Gayle has been a life-long West Hartford resident, so I have always loved hearing her take over various town issues throughout the years! As a physician for 20 years, she also has unique insight into what is affecting youth. She has personally heard from her patients how the recently developed claims regarding gender and identity promotes confusion and directly impacts his or her mental health. She is like an extra wise family member who you are grateful to talk with! I strongly encourage you to vote for her on Tuesday, Nov. 4!

Ben Lewis

Ben is someone who is very easy to talk to! He is a breath of fresh air, who is not afraid to speak his mind. He believes in exposing books in our schools that have content that is simply inappropriate for young kids. He communicates what he has to say in a compelling way. He will bring enthusiasm to the Town Council, reflective of West Hartford’s vibrant community! This is why I encourage you to vote for Ben Lewis on Tuesday, Nov. 4!

Best,

Megan Freeman
West Hartford
