After consideration, I made the following choices. Here goes:
Town Council
Shari Cantor (D)
Dallas Dodge (D)
Mary Fay (R)
Beth Kerrigan (D)
Liam Sweeney (D)
Ben Wenograd* (D)
*my choice for Mayor
Board of Education
Cheryl Greenberg (D)
Deb Polun (D)
Lorna Thompson-Farquharson (D)
Now, some of you may be wondering why I chose to drop Chris Barnes and pick up Mary Fay instead for the sole Republican seat. I listened to Chris Barnes and I must say I was very nonplussed by what he said. It was very boilerplate nonsense. Mary Fay, on the other hand, sounded like a genuine Town Council member. Plus, the fact that she is a lesbian will mean that LGBT needs will be heard.
I hope that a few people from West Hartford will read what I've written and will consider these matters when voting. However, if you are not from West Hartford, your vote is just as important. Read your papers and watch the League of Women Voters.
And on Tuesday, VOTE.
