The following is an open letter to voters from Kim Healy, Republican candidate for state Senator for the 26th District:

Friends and Neighbors,
I am happy to report that I have been endorsed by the Independent Party of Connecticut as their candidate for State Senate in the 26th District (Wilton, Ridgefield, and Redding, most of Westport, and parts of Bethel, New Canaan, and Weston).

I will now be both the Republican and Independent Party candidate this Election Day, November 3, 2020.

The Independent Party is independent for a reason – it understands that entrenchment occurs in typical party politics. I am humbled and grateful that they recognized my intent to create practical solutions that transcends party boundaries. The Independent Party is the third largest political party in Connecticut and often nominates fiscally responsible, socially moderate candidates without regard to which party those candidates represent.

When I am your State Senator, I promise to be independent in my thinking and principled in my decision making to honor the pragmatism of Connecticut’s Independent Party.
