Letter: 'In Support of Toni Boucher'

To The Editor:

I am writing this letter in support of Toni Boucher for Connecticut State Senate. As a mom of 2 children in the Wilton Public Schools and especially as a member of the Wilton Board of Education; I understand first hand how important it is to invest time and capital in our schools. Toni has a history of investing in education at both the primary and secondary levels for Connecticut. It is imperative that towns like Wilton, New Canaan, Ridgefield and beyond are able to protect local control of education and prioritize parent involvement in our schools, Toni has a history of doing just that. She has been named "Children's Champion" by the Connecticut Early Childhood Alliance on SEVEN different occasions. Toni is a former Board of Education, State Board of Education and Legislative Education Committee Member. She fought against HB7192 and any other bills or studies of mandated school regionalization. Our towns need Toni, our state needs Toni and most important of all, our schools need Toni. Please consider voting for Toni Boucher this election.
