Wilton’s Kim Healy Earns Spot On GOP Primary Ballot

WILTON, CT—At Monday’s virtual convention, Wilton resident Kim Healy won the Republican nomination for the 26th State Senate District seat. The 26th State Senate District is comprised of seven Connecticut towns including Redding, Ridgefield, and Wilton and parts of Bethel, New Canaan, Weston and Westport.

Healy accepted the nomination by noting that, “With the right leadership, I am confident we can turn things around and restore hope in Connecticut for the next generation.”

The married mother of four was nominated by the Honorable Judith Freedman, former State Senator from the 26th District, who assured delegates that, “Kim is a highly energized, knowledgeable candidate who will bring a lifetime of experience to the State Senate. I am proud to support her.”

William Lalor of Wilton seconded the nomination and said, “I am proud to offer my enthusiastic endorsement of Kim Healy. She is a breath of fresh air who offers voters the important perspectives of a mother and community volunteer who has been a business professional. She will work hard to be an authentic advocate for her constituents.”

Healy is a CPA and was an auditor for PriceWaterhouseCoopers. She has over 20 years of volunteer experience, most notably as a tax preparer through the AARP and the Treasurer of the Wilton Library. She is also involved with her children’s schools, Minks to Sinks, and Wilton’s Warrior Helpers. She has previously been treasurer of the Wilton Youth Council. Kim moved to Connecticut in 1994 and to Wilton in 2008. She is the parent of four children from ages 22 to 13.

"I have spent my life giving my time and sharing my expertise with others. I want to bring my budgeting and audit experience to Hartford to ensure accountability for the out of control spending and borrowing as well as my family and life experiences to better my community which I care deeply about," she said on her official Facebook page.

The primary is scheduled for Aug. 11, 2020.
