WESTPORT, CT — The members of the Westport Republican Town Committee (or RTC) met last night to officially endorse Republican candidates for this November’s municipal elections. Among those receiving the unanimous endorsement of the Westport Republican Party are: Liz Heyer current Board of Education Vice Chair and Judy Domkowski for Board of Education; Rich Hightower, Tom Lasersohn, and Perry Winter for Board of Finance; John Bolton, current Planning & Zoning alternate, Amie Tesler and Patrizia Zucaro current Planning and Zoning Commissioners and former Planning and Zoning commissioner Jack Whittle; Michelle Hopson and Liz Wong, both current members of the Zoning Board of Appeals for re-election; and Current Board of Assessment Appeals member Joe Sledge for re-election to the Board of Assessment Appeals.

“We are delighted with our strong slate of candidates led by our current noted RTC Nominating
Committee Chair Patrizia Zucaro. With principled, experienced leaders like Liz Heyer and Judy
Domkowski’s advocacy for our school community on the Board of Education, the excellent
additions of Rich Hightower, Tom Lasersohn, and Perry Winter to the Board of Finance, John
Bolton, Amie Tesler, Patrizia Zucaro and Jack Whittle’s expertise on the Planning and Zoning
Commission, with Michelle Hopson and Liz Wong for the Zoning Board of Appeals, and Joe
Sledge’s experience and thoughtfulness on the Zoning Board of Appeals, I am convinced
Westport’s future will remain bright. Our slate of candidates understands the challenges and
opportunities facing Westport, and they are the best prepared, most qualified public servants to
lead us forward.”
