Kim Healy, candidate for the General Assembly, 42nd District which encompasses all of Wilton and sections of New Canaan and Ridgefield, has been endorsed by the Independent Party of Connecticut. The endorsement underscores Healy’s commitment to representing the voice of all constituents regardless of their political affiliation.

To gain the support of the Independent Party of Connecticut, in part, Healy answered an in-depth survey, sharing her vision and ideas on issues ranging across the environment, housing, education, ranked-choice voting, spending and taxes, infrastructure and more. Healy is also endorsed by the Republican Party.

“I am honored to receive the endorsement of the Independent Party of Connecticut, a party grounded in shepherding common-sense ideas and solutions to address the many issues facing our State,” said Healy. “Their backing demonstrates my dedication to collaboration and working across the aisle with others – not defining individuals by their party affiliation or where they may or may not stand on a particular issue. As I move forward with our positive campaign, I take the movement of independent thinking with me and always trying to find ways to work together.”

Healy is serving in her first term on the Wilton Board of Selectmen. She previously served on the Wilton Conservation Commission and was appointed to the Wilton Library Association by the Board of Selectmen. She’s also an active volunteer with Wilton’s Minks to Sinks, board member of Family and Children’s Agency in Norwalk and is an appointed member of the statewide Reading Leadership Implementation Council.

Healy has been involved withCT169Strong, a non-partisan statewide advocacy group committed to local control of zoning and finding solutions to address Connecticut’s affordability issues. She has been a vocal and proactive advocate on making meaningful reforms to 8-30g, the State’s affordable housing law. Kim is also a volunteer tax preparer for low income and retired CT residents.

Healy has lived with her husband in CT since 1994, and Wilton since 2008, where they raised their four children. As an active member of the community, Healy has a deep understanding of the issues facing senior citizens, working families, children and small business owners.
