All Electors must vote on November 5.

Although there is no National or Statewide election this Nov 5 it is imperative that all (approximately 12,500) registered New Canaan electors vote on November 5 and have their voice(s) heard. Nov 5 to me is a crucial turning point in the political process in New Canaan. We need to enhance "financial expertise" in our Legislative Branch of Government (Town Council) and stop the "rubber-stamp" of excessive spending and club politics. In the new fiscal year only approximately $10 million of the outstanding $135 million in bonded indebtedness will be amortized, however we have already proposed $14.9 million of new debt at higher interest rates with more to come. That equation purports to higher taxes for all constituents. It is time to elect those that will assess real needs vs. unnecessary wants. Some of which could be deferred. The selection process for our representatives must change. Last July 16 the Republican caucus allowed its electors only 1 hour and 5 minutes, on one record hot summer evening in an over-crowded auditorium to cast their vote for Town Council and BOE candidates. The result was only 729 Republican Electors decided who the November candidates will be. The vote turnout was 67.6% lower than the past Caucus for Town Council and BOE candidates (729 vs. 2250 votes. 10.9% of registered Republicans or ONLY 5.8% of the total electors in town (approximately 6650 Republicans, 3500 independents and 2350 Democrats). Far from a statistical representation of the desires of the constituency or a mandate. There are 6 seats open on the Town Council. There are 8 candidates. The 4 Republicans nominated at the July 16 caucus, 3 Democrats and myself (although a registered Republican) running as a petitioning candidate as an unaffiliated candidate. That is 8 candidates for 6 seats. It is imperative that the constituency understand however that I cannot beat a Democratic candidate. I can only challenge the four Republican candidates. I must obtain a greater vote total than any of the four Republican candidates. If I obtain a greater vote total than any Democrat candidate that candidate wins. I am running because I believe I am the only candidate who caucused with proven and tested financial expertise. I will examine, as a forensic auditor and manager all items before the TC and vote according to the voices of all constituents. No self-interest and no rubber-stamp. I have proven, I have shown and I have done. I am not a new comer to serving the community. I am dedicated and time tested. I am bi-partisan and will represent all constituents as I have always done in the past. Remember you must vote on Nov 5 for "real change" and a "real voice". Vote "Roy for a Voice"
