"Come when you can and stay for only as long as you’d like. Thanks to everyone who has encouraged and supported me during this campaign."

- Rich Townsend

“New Canaan is fortunate that Rich has decided to put his hat in the ring to bring his energy and discernment to our Town Council. He is committed to building on our community’s best strengths while always looking for ideas to improve the status quo in meaningful ways. Rich’s deep-rooted commitment to our town, his clear-eyed business acumen, and his respect for the dignity of every person who lives here will combine to make New Canaan an even more desirable place to live, thrive and work for all of us.”

- Peggy Dannemann

“I have known Richard Townsend for almost 30 years, and he is, quite frankly, one of the finest people I have ever known. Intelligence, heart, positive attitude, and work ethic define Rich in my view.”

- Bill Walbert

“Rich Townsend… would be a great addition to our Town Council. He was a New Canaan commuter for years and knows the ins and outs of problems facing New Canaan commuters today.”

- Jayne Meythaler

“With the budget utterly out of control in Hartford, we have to be especially careful with our own financial affairs in New Canaan. That is why I would encourage you to support Rich Townsend for our Town Council. No one could be more careful with taxpayer dollars or more focused on protecting property values and making this a competitive business climate once again.”

- Rob Sterner

“New Canaan would be well served to have Rich Townsend on Town Council.”

- Elizabeth DeMuth

“Rich is good at setting priorities. He will be a good steward of our tax dollars and will prioritize between important needs and lesser needs or wants — to maintain the greatness of our town and improve property values. He will listen to what is important to you, so please join me in voting for Rich for Town Council at the caucus on July 18.”

- Hans Dijs

“It is time to elect officials that are transparent and independent, who research issues and make informed decisions incorporating the views of all New Canaan residents. We need leaders who are fiscally conservative, yet understand that New Canaan is slipping behind its competitive towns and may need to invest strategically to attract residents and protect our real estate values. Please join us in supporting Kevin Moynihan, Christa Kenin and Rich Townsend to bring this needed change to New Canaan.”

- Greg and Becky Ethridge

“I endorse Rich Townsend. He has been a New Canaan taxpayer, homeowner, business owner, and community leader for many years. He knows what needs to be done to prioritize and economize to protect our taxpayers, homeowners and local businesses.”

- Jim Wartinbee

“I strongly support Rich Townsend for Town Council. I have had the privilege of working with Rich as a board member of the New Canaan Community Foundation where he served as Treasurer and chair of the Finance Committee. Rich’s financial acumen and background as the CFO of a major corporation provide a skill set that is vitally important to New Canaan.”

- Dave Hunt

“I encourage you to support Rich Townsend in his run for Town Council. Rich is a man of great integrity; he is honest, hardworking and deeply committed to maintaining a high quality of life for the citizens of New Canaan.”

- Eric Fjeldal
