Letter To The Editor: Vote Hogan For Westport RTM

From Patch Reader Michelle Didner:

Dear Editor,

I am writing to urge members of Westport’s District 3 to vote Lyn Hogan for RTM. Lyn and I first met at the YMCA in 2003 when she was just beginning the process of adopting her daughter Anna from China. She approached me asking advice when she realized I too had adopted my daughter from China. We instantly bonded and became fast friends as did our daughters when Lyn and her husband brought Anna home from China in 2006.

I cannot think of a better person to elect to town office than Lyn. Ever since I have known her, Lyn has been committed to her children, their schools and the wonderful town in which we live. Both our daughters attended Kings Highway Elementary School together and are now at Coleytown Middle School and our sons both attend Staples High School and are both part of Staples soccer team.

Lyn brings a wealth of knowledge to the job of RTM. In her professional life, she has worked for the Clinton White House Domestic Policy Council, then-Senator Edward Kennedy’s Education Committee, and for Yale University’s Edward Zigler Center in Child Development & Social Policy. But I think more impressive is her work early on as a drop-out prevention counselor in the New York City public schools and as a family preservation social worker in the Red Hook Housing Projects in Brooklyn. Coupled with her local volunteer work over the years for the PTA, her church, and now the RTM, I can’t think of anyone better for the job.
Please join me in voting for Lyn Hogan for District 3 RTM.

Sincerely,

Michelle Didner
