Rich Townsend for New Canaan Town Council
Rich Townsend will work to protect property values, strengthen our schools, and offer new solutions for greater commuter convenience.
In the first debate, he clearly voiced his priorities to protect what is most valuable about New Canaan – from our property values, to strong schools and commuter convenience.
- He has been deeply committed to our community for decades. That commitment included an extremely high level of generosity of time and energy as a father, grandfather, churchgoer, and volunteer. From studying in the classrooms of Stanford as a student to presenting in the boardroom as the CFO of a major company, he knows how to listen, learn, and lead.
- Home owners all benefit when property values rise and we can help strengthen the real estate market by focusing on the right priorities. I have three kids in school in New Canaan so care that Rich will make certain that our public schools remain some of the best in the nation. As a commuter for many years, Rich has innovative ideas for increasing commuter convenience by radically simplifying and accelerating the process of getting train parking.
- Mostly, we need a representative who is a strong CFO. Why? Because the state of Connecticut is broke. They have run out of money and are going to be going after prosperous towns in Fairfield County for ours. Their profligacy places a heightened demand that we get New Canaan’s finances in order. There is no one I trust more to do so than Rich Townsend.
