Letter: Endorsing Perry in Southington

To the Editor,

Our family has been residents of Southington for the past 10 years. We chose this town for the great schools, wonderful parks and cozy small town feel. Since living here, we have enjoyed getting to know our town, making new friends while raising our family.

Last year, we met Mr. Jack Perry. He is a wonderful man with drive, heart, a zest for life and a strong sense of community — a man who I have witnessed numerous times volunteering to help charities, immediately stepping up to help anyone that needs a hand, regularly attending town meetings, all while running a business he started.

When Mr. Perry realized our town needed positive changes while attending these meetings, he didn’t pass the buck, he took charge. He wants his town — our town — to be the wonderful place I knew it to be when I chose it 10 years ago. Many of us want things to change, we talk about change, but we lack what it takes to do anything to bring that change about.

Mr. Jack Perry is doing something about it. That is why I am voting for Jack Perry for Town Council. He truly is about people — people before politics.

I know this to be true because I have seen it in his personal life. People are important to Jack. He cares. That is what I want in politics — a politician who truly cares about all of the people.

Please consider Jack Perry for Southington Town Council.
