I saw the quote “We’re all just walking each other home,” from Ram Dass, in the final issue of the Killingworth Krier. It was in the editor Karen Milano’s sign off and struck me as summing up the best of small-town life. Just as our local media outlets set a tone for our towns, so do our local elections.
Signs are up, candidate forums, fundraisers, and Meet and Greets are everywhere. Candidates are neighbors stepping up to do the work of town governance, to protect what is good, deal with day-to-day concerns, keep us fiscally sound, and our schools among the best.
With that in mind, the Killingworth Democrats have brought together an amazing slate of candidates. Many are seeking re-election, some to new positions, some stepping up for the first time. All bring a wealth of varied and strong experience to the table and a commitment to fact-based problem solving.
The biographies of our candidates can be found on our website, killingworthdemocrats.org. I think you will find them as impressive as I have. You may also have met them as they knocked on doors, did Meet and Greet fundraisers, appeared at our local candidate hot spot, Recycle Way, or attended town events.
From Eric Couture, running for First Selectman, and Joel D’Angelo, for Selectman, across Row A, we have candidates who know our town and the special place it is.
Join me on November 7, in voting Row A.
Kathleen Amoia, Killingworth
