Press Release

CPA Kim Healy has proven to be the candidate who can best represent the seat I held for 12 years in the legislature for the 42nd State Representative District. Her years of successful work on our town's Board of Selectmen and the Wilton Library speaks to her capability and intellect. In addition to Kim's many community service projects, she has also provided us with strong advocacy at the state level in an effort to keep our school curriculum local and property rights in the hands of homeowners. She has my vote on November 5th.

Toni Boucher

While serving as Wilton’s first selectwoman, it was clear to me we needed more state legislators who were knowledgeable and independent minded — legislators who weren’t afraid to stand up and advocate for common sense, fiscally responsible solutions rather than just vote the way their party leaders told them to vote.

Kim Healy will be one of those needed legislators. Over the last six years, Kim has immersed herself in state issues and advocated for or against legislative proposals in key areas, including housing and education. Also while serving as a selectwoman, Kim has gained additional knowledge of the issues and the needs of residents. Kim understands that education decisions are best made locally, that Connecticut suffers from a lack of energy independence, that transportation is key to jobs and economic growth, that legislative changes have contributed to police shortages, that the state’s unique binding arbitration method has led to higher costs, and that the state’s 8-30g statute has failed to solve the state’s housing shortage and thus requires revision. 

Kim understands allowing developers to avoid local zoning laws can translate into a poor result, such as the 40-unit one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment building under construction [at 12 Godfrey Pl.] in Wilton Center with planned under parking for tenants. It means those tenants and/or their guests will by necessity use other private parking spaces that are currently serving the library, restaurants and shopping. Wilton’s Planning and Zoning Commission appropriately pushed back on the lack of parking in the developer’s original application. In turn, the developer filed under 8-30g, stripping P&Z of its authority over parking and other zoning regulations.

Kim has a record of asking questions and challenging that which doesn’t make sense. That, combined with her experience and training as a CPA, means she will perform the necessary deep analysis before voting.

Kim is also willing to work with individuals from all parties and in doing so has recognized them publicly for their achievements, as she did with Gov. Lamont at this month’s Wilton League of Women Voters debate in Wilton.

And, you can trust Kim to keep women’s current CT reproductive rights. I say that as a woman who required two life-saving medical abortions due to ectopic pregnancies and who underwent multiple in-vitro fertilization cycles. Both Kim and I believe all women are entitled to the same access to reproductive healthcare that I had.

As first selectwoman, I endorsed Democratic, Republican and unaffiliated candidates. Like many of you, I support candidates who I feel are the best for the circumstances. Although I am no longer first selectwoman, I am an unaffiliated Wilton property owner with a vested interest in our state and town’s future.

Please vote for Kim Healy on Nov. 5.

Lynne A, Vanderslice
Former First Selectwoman
Town of Wilton

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kim Healy on the Wilton Board of Selectmen for three years, and I’ve known her even longer. A true numbers person, Kim reviews budgets with keen financial acumen, drawing on her years of experience as an auditor. These skills are desperately needed in Hartford, where ballooning budgets result in cuts to local town tax reimbursements and unfunded mandates. 

Kim will fight policies like the public benefit tax on our electric bills, so-called “fair share” legislation that would destroy rural and farming communities in the state, one size fits all educational initiatives, and other short-sighted legislation. Repeatedly testifying against state policies that would not benefit Wiltonians, Kim has always maintained a decidedly local focus. 

While some politicians shout about party affiliation instead of ideas, Kim is focused on making Connecticut affordable by reducing junk fees, encouraging private investment in our environment, ensuring children have access to quality, locally controlled educational opportunities, making healthcare and mental health services accessible, and protecting the rights of women and girls. She will bring true, independent leadership to Hartford.

When you cast your ballot, think about what matters most, the party affiliation next to someone’s name, or the proven leadership they’ve supplied? I know leadership, skills, and ideas are how we build back Connecticut and, if you agree, join me in supporting Kim Healy for State Representative.

Joshua S. Cole, Esq.
Wilton Second Selectman

I am proud to endorse Kim Healy for District 42 State Representative. Kim is exactly the kind of leader we need representing our district in Hartford. Her background, experience, and dedication to our community make her a natural choice for state representative. As chair of the Wilton Board of Finance, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with Kim and witnessing firsthand her tireless commitment to ensuring that taxpayer dollars are managed responsibly. She brings a thoughtful, disciplined approach to every decision she makes, and her financial expertise, combined with a passion for public service, will serve our district well.

Kim’s fiscal acumen has been on full display in her role on the Wilton Board of Selectmen. Her background as a CPA and former auditor with PricewaterhouseCoopers enables her to expertly navigate complex budgets, ensuring that resources are used efficiently and effectively. Kim understands that today’s financial decisions impact the future, and she consistently works to protect the long term financial health of our community. She has proven her ability to tackle difficult issues head-on with integrity and an unwavering commitment to the people she serves.

Kim is equally passionate about education, as demonstrated by her leadership on the Reading Leadership Implementation

Council. Appointed in 2022, Kim has been instrumental in ensuring the successful implementation of the CT Right to Read Law. She has boldly challenged the Department of Education’s one-size-fits-all approach, advocating instead for locally driven strategies that respect the unique needs of each district. Kim knows that strong literacy and math skills are critical to student success and is committed to strengthening these foundational competencies in our schools. She also champions the importance of local control, making sure that parents and boards of education have a strong voice in shaping educational policy. As a candidate for State Representative, Kim’s priorities demonstrate her deep understanding of the issues that matter most to our community. She is a staunch advocate for early education programs, community safety and women’s reproductive rights. Kim supports first responders and pushes for stronger laws to keep our neighborhoods safe. She also promotes forward-thinking policies, such as sustainable zoning reform and affordable housing solutions, and remains a strong voice for fiscal restraint at the state level. Her focus on fostering a pro-growth economy shows her commitment to reducing the financial burden on Connecticut families. Kim Healy is a dedicated public servant who combines strong expertise and experience with a passion for the well-being of her community. I am confident she will bring these strengths to Hartford and represent District 42 with distinction. Please join me in voting for Kim Healy on Nov. 5!

Matt Raimondi
Chair, Wilton Board of Finance

Early voting has begun and those looking to reduce the high cost of living in Connecticut should be voting for Kim Healy as State Representative. 

Experience and qualifications matter. As an unaffiliated voter and elected official, I’ve long made that statement on the campaign trail and in endorsements. If you’re not sure why a vote for Kim is a vote for the qualified candidate, let me tell you about her.

A CPA who worked as an auditor for PriceWaterhouse Coopers, Kim knows how to identify misuse of funds and monitor government spending. She’s committed to reducing costs through identifying waste.

As both an elected Wilton [selectwoman] and a board member on the state’s Reading Leadership Implementation Council, Kim has developed an understanding of the governmental process. Working within the bounds of governmental regulations is unlike any other experience. To be effective in government, you need an understanding of how to navigate policy creation, budgetary processes, departmental rules, and a host of other uniquely governmental concerns. When we send people to the state without this type of experience, we do ourselves a disservice. Instead of jumping right in, newly elected officials who lack this experience need to learn how to navigate through government. Kim will be able to dig right into the issues that matter.

Kim’s dedication to public service is something with which she was raised. Growing up with a police officer as a father and mother who was a nurse gave her a sense of responsibility to the community. 

Is she “one of us”? If that means caring about local issues — then, of course. Kim is there for all of us. Kim believes in fiscal responsibility, rights for women and that diversity makes us strong. It’s absurd to claim otherwise with a track record like Kim’s!

• Kim has been a defender of local control in education and zoning.
• She recognizes the public benefit tax on our electric bills is unreasonable.
• She understands the issues surrounding affordable housing, and will fight against expanding laws that don’t solve those issues.
• She’s worked to keep our Wilton budget low, sits on the Employee Retirement Plan Investment Committee, and Trust Fund for Post-Employment Benefits [Committee].
• She works for local charities as a board trustee for the Norwalk Family and Children’s Agency, and is a member of the Wilton Garden Club, and Minks to Sinks.
• She’s been a Wilton resident for 16 years, where she and her husband, who is an immigrant, raised their four children.
• She worries about the safety of her children, and the health of her husband.
• She’s a professional who has juggled work and family life.

Cross-endorsed by the Independent Party, Kim recieved the backing of the Fraternal Order of Police. I urge you to join them in supporting her this election, and vote Kim Healy for State Representative.

Melissa-Jean Rotini, Esq.
Vice Chair, Planning and Zoning Commission

I am writing in support of Kim Healy for State Representative District 42.

Kim has intimate knowledge of the needs of her constituents through serving in the community and practicing active listening. In the last budget-cycle as a member of Wilton Board of Finance, I had the opportunity to work with Kim in her role as member of Wilton Board of Selectman; I was impressed with how she advocated to prioritize what really mattered to her constituents and drove both common-sensical and fiscally responsible solutions. On the education front, Kim demonstrated her leadership in the Reading Leadership Implementation Council by ensuring the successful implementation of the CT Right to Read Law. Further she has challenged the [CT State] Department of Education’s one-size-fits-all approach and advocated for locally driven decisions and ensuring that parents and boards of education are empowered to make their own decisions. 

Last but not least, Kim’s background as a CPA, experience in the private sector and her demonstrated ability to work collaboratively with individuals from all parties makes her uniquely qualified for the job. And she is not shy of giving credit, as she demonstrated by publicly recognizing Gov. Lamont at the Wilton League of Women Voters debate in Wilton.

I hope you will join me in voting for Kim Healy on Nov. 5.

Prasad Iyer
Wilton Board of Finance, Clerk

I am writing to express my enthusiastic support for Kim Healy as State Representative. Over the years, Kim has volunteered for many local organizations including the Wilton Library and Minks to Sinks. Kim has been on the Wilton Board of Selectmen since 2021 and serves on several other town committees.

As a member of the Board of Finance, I have had the opportunity to work with Kim on the issues of the town and I have found her to always try to do what is best for the community. She listens to everyone and works to keep the conversations civil. Kim has used her extensive financial experience to make sure Wilton has great services and keeps spending at a reasonable level.

As our state representative, Kim will work to ensure that Wilton can make its own choices regarding education and housing rather than a one-size-fits-all answer from the state legislature. Kim will work to restrain state spending and reduce state taxes. Kim is my choice for state representative.

Rudy Escalante

Board of Finance Member

Kim Healy offers Ridgefield voters in the 42nd District an opportunity for balanced representation and fiscal responsibility in our state government. As a CPA and former auditor, Kim brings valuable financial expertise that will benefit our state's budgeting and spending decisions.

Currently, Kim serves as an elected member of Wilton’s Board of Selectmen, demonstrating her commitment to public service and her deep understanding of local issues and municipal governance. In her role as Selectwoman, Kim also serves on the Water Pollution Control Authority, the Wilton Employees Retirement Plan Investment Committee, and the Trust Fund for Post-Employment Benefits.

Kim’s experience also includes serving on the Reading Leadership Implementation Council, which provides guidance to the Center for Literacy Research and Reading Success. She was a trustee of the Wilton Library Association, a member of the Wilton Conservation Commission and a volunteer for the Wilton Youth Council.

Those who know Kim personally, myself included, can attest to her high integrity, authenticity, and fair-minded approach to issues. She has a reputation for being thoughtful and treating everyone with respect -- qualities that are essential for effective leadership and collaboration. Kim’s platform focuses on:

• Being a good steward and promoting responsible fiscal management
• Preserving local control over zoning and development decisions
• Supporting high-quality education while ensuring efficient use of resources

By electing Kim Healy, Ridgefield voters can help ensure diverse perspectives are represented in our state government. This balance is crucial for addressing the serious challenges our town faces and finding solutions that work for all residents.

I enthusiastically endorse Kim Healy for state representative and I encourage all Ridgefield voters in District 42 to carefully consider Kim’s qualifications and vision for Ridgefield. Electing Kim will bring valuable financial acumen and a fresh perspective to our town's leadership.

Bob Hebert

I am proud to endorse Kim Healy for State Representative of the 42nd District.
It was my great honor to serve as Ridgefield’s state representative for 22 years, during which I had the privilege of serving on the Finance Committee as well as many other committees and in leadership. Based on what I’ve seen during my time in Hartford, Kim Healy is undoubtedly the right person to address the pressing issues facing our district and state today.
I’ve known Kim for many years, and since 2021 she has served Wilton as a Selectman with dedication and integrity. As a CPA and former auditor, Kim has a deep understanding of fiscal responsibility. I am confident she will work to make our state more affordable, balancing budgets while maintaining essential services. She knows firsthand how state decisions affect local governments, and she will be a strong advocate for Ridgefield, Wilton, and New Canaan.
Kim’s experience working collaboratively at the town level will serve her well in Hartford, where she’ll continue to reach across the aisle and focus on the needs of her constituents. No matter your political affiliation, Kim will listen and respond with the same level of care and commitment.
There are few people I trust as much to advocate for our towns, which is why I am proud to endorse Kim Healy for the 42nd District.
Please vote for Kim on November 5th!
John Frey
Former State Representative, 111th District. 1999-2021

With election day just a few short weeks away some may lose focus on the candidates that may have the greatest effect on our towns and neighborhoods. Members of the state government can often dictate more of our daily lives than national candidates do. That is why it is crucial to select candidates who represent the unique needs of our town and see the perils of employing a one-size-fits-all all approach to the many problems that face Connecticut today. We need representatives that support local decision-making for our schools, looks for common sense zoning solutions to address affordable housing needs, and insists on fiscal guardrails that reign in deficit spending. I believe Ryan Fazio, Tom O’Dea and Kim Healy have demonstrated that they support and value the core belief that a town’s residents are best suited to find the most effective solutions to many of the problems that CT faces today. Ryan and Tom have been on the front lines for the fight for reasonable approaches to affordable housing and responsible fiscal policy for our state. All three of these candidates speak often to the challenges and intricacies of zoning laws like 8-30G, demonstrating a thorough understanding and dedication to finding more balanced and equitable solutions for all CT residents. We desperately need Ryan Fazio, Tom O’Dea and Kim Healy to represent our towns if we want officials that will fight for us in Hartford.
James Yao

I am writing in support of Kim Healy for State Representative in Connecticut’s 42nd House District.

Kim has always been an advocate for local control. This is evident with her work on the State’s Reading Leadership Implementation Council and her opposition to a one size fits all approach which removes control from school districts that are already performing at the highest levels.  She understands that we need local communities to be involved in the affordable housing solution and will work to implement practical/collaborative solutions that make sense.

Kim has always advocated for the values of her constituents for lower taxes, local control and supporting first responders. Her values will continue to allow those communities to evolve and flourish.

She has done a great job as a Selectwoman in Wilton, let’s send her to  Hartford so she can work to make our state a better place to live in.

Sincerely,

Bob Naughton

The Wilton Bulletin

Education is the cornerstone of a better tomorrow.

Now more than ever we must elect leaders that focus on education and all its facets that impact a child’s journey from pre-school through secondary school. Prioritizing safety, sound foundational skills, enhanced competencies, access to resources, literacy advancement, retainment of local educational decision-making, and parent voices being heard in state policy decisions are critical for a better tomorrow. The 42nd State Representative District has the opportunity this November to vote for a proven leader that makes education and accountability a priority in all that she does. Kim Healy is that leader. Her unwavering dedication and stewardship at a local and state level are undeniable with her meaningful contributions and demonstrated success as a selectwoman and a member of the CT State Reading Leadership Implementation Council. Please join me in voting for Kim Healy on Nov. 5.

Christian Bilella

Good Morning Wilton

Wouldn’t it be great if there was someone who was level-headed, compassionate, and intelligent, with a demonstrated passion for Wilton, who wanted to be our representative in Hartford (for our 42nd house district)? How about having someone knowledgeable about our town government (as a current member of the Board of Selectmen) who could use this experience to better support Wilton at the state level? Wouldn’t it be great to have somebody more at ease identifying herself as a Wiltonian rather than as a member of a political party, someone who has garnered the endorsement of the Independent Party, serving as our representative?

The great news is that Kim Healy is all of these things. She’s also a mother of four, dedicated to improving both the environment (she served on the Conservation Commission) and our quality of life, and a staunch advocate for improving educational outcomes in both towns like Wilton as well as those with lower achievement levels today. Kim would be a great champion for our town, pushing to keep and expand local decision-making, knowing that local autonomy helped create the Wilton we have today, the place all of us have chosen to call home. I hope everyone reading this will join me in voting for Kim Healy!

Jake Lubel

New Canaanite

With a Big Four accounting background, proven local leadership including Wilton’s Board of Selectmen and years of community and volunteer service, I enthusiastically support Kim Healey for State Representative. She is a proven problem solver who would work on our behalf in a bi-partisan manner and has been endorsed by the state’s Independent Party. Additionally, she is the only candidate with relevant experience and a long history of serving numerous local organizations. Kim has the right skill set to help the community and the state in the important areas of education, economics, housing, safety and the environment.

We need Kim in Hartford and I urge you to join me in voting for her.

Jon Savas

The Wilton Bulletin

I am writing in support of Kim Healy for state representative for the 42nd District. Kim is a highly intelligent and capable woman who is truly dedicated to her community. This is evident given her extensive volunteer background. She has remained dedicated to representing our interests while serving on the Board of Selectmen and there is no one I trust more to represent our voice as a community in Hartford. She understands the importance of public participation in and public awareness of the political process.

Further, Kim advocates for forward-thinking zoning reform, which we so desperately need. Hartford has pursued unrealistic and idealized housing bills for too long and we are suffering as a result. We are in desperate need of a solution to the affordable housing problem that does not sacrifice our town’s autonomy with respect to planning and zoning. I trust that Kim will bring a collaborative spirit to Hartford and approach zoning reform in a practical way.

The Hour

Kim Healy is not just a longtime friend but someone who exemplifies genuine care and commitment to the community of Wilton. Over the years, her dedication to the town has been evident through her sincere efforts to contribute to its well-being. As someone who deeply values relationships, Kim's warmth and generosity are constants in both her personal and public life. Her passion for Wilton shines through, and it’s clear that her efforts stem from a heartfelt desire to see the town thrive.

Her personal investment in the community reflects her character — a person who takes the time to understand the needs of those around her and acts with integrity and empathy. Whether engaging with local issues or offering support to friends, Kim's authenticity and caring nature always stand out.

Annie Chochos, Wilton

The Wilton Bulletin

Kim Healy is the best qualified candidate to represent Wilton for the 42nd District seat. Kim is well-known to us as she is currently serving on Wilton’s Board of Selectmen since November 2021 and is well-acquainted with local issues here in Wilton. Kim would represent our interests well as our representative in Hartford.

Kim is a longtime resident of Wilton and actively involved in the local community, years of serving on the Wilton Library Board, including as treasurer, and for eight years a volunteer tax preparer for AARP.

I am writing to express my strong support for Kim Healy in her
candidacy for State Representative in Connecticut. Kim is a
dedicated and compassionate leader who truly understands the
needs of our community. Her commitment to ensuring that
parents and the Board of Education have a powerful voice in
shaping the future of our children is inspiring. She knows how
crucial it is for families to have a say in decisions that affect
education.

Equally, Kim’s unwavering stance on protecting reproductive
freedom and a woman’s right to choose demonstrates her belief
in personal autonomy and equality for all. She is a fierce
advocate for women and will continue to stand up for their
rights.
One of Kim’s greatest strengths is her ability to connect with
people from all walks of life. She is amiable, approachable, and
works tirelessly to bridge divides, regardless of race, gender, or
political affiliation. Her emphasis on fiscal responsibility shows
her deep care for Connecticut’s future, striving for communities
to prosper and businesses to flourish.

Kim Healy is the leader we need — someone who listens, acts
with integrity, and is committed to making Connecticut a better
place for everyone.
Yours faithfully,
Mohammed A. Ayoub

Kim Healy has demonstrated her ability to listen, learn and lead
in her role as a Wilton Selectwoman. In that role, she has
always promoted effective policies with civility, not political
divisiveness. In that role, she has gained the local experience to
effectively represent Wilton’s local concerns in Hartford. As
examples:
1. Kim supports legislation that retains local decision-making
for our schools.
2. Kim will take an approach to meaningful zoning reform
that respects the importance of local decision-making.

3. 3) Kim understands the need to update state laws to provide
practical collaborative solutions to housing affordability.
4. 4) Kim will restrain state spending by maintaining the
current fiscal guardrails.

Kim will also promote a pro-growth economy, which includes the
reduction of unnecessary regulations and smarter, accountable
government spending. She will advocate for smart, economically
responsible initiatives to support robust and healthy
environment and the need for sustainability. On some of the
bigger issues Kim will support and defend CT women’s
reproductive freedom and push to eliminate CT income tax on
social security payments.
In summary, if you look at her position on the issues, Kim should
be Wilton’s choice for state rep. She is my choice.

Warren Serenbetz

I am writing to support Kim Healy for State Representative for
the 42nd District. Kim has demonstrated her collaborative and
bipartisan approach to government during her time on
the Wilton Board of Selectmen. Kim has worked to ensure
responsible municipal spending while still meeting the needs of
the town and residents of Wilton.

Outside of the Board of Selectmen Kim has also been on
the Reading Leadership Implementation Council since 2022.
On this council Kim has been vocal in her opposition to the State
Department of Education’s one size fits all approach to the
implementation of this law. Kim wants to ensure that parents
and boards of education have a strong voice in state policy
decisions.
In Hartford, Kim will be a voice for appropriate government
spending and maintain the current fiscal guardrails as well as be
an advocate for small business. Kim will also advocate to
eliminate state income tax on social security payments which
will help our senior citizens manage the cost increases we’ve
seen over the last several years of high inflation.

Kim will push for a forward-thinking approach to zoning reform
at the state level recognizing the importance of local decision
making.

Please join me in supporting Kim for State Representative for the
42nd District.

Jason Terry

I am writing in support of Kim Healy for State Representative in Connecticut’s 42nd House District. As someone who has lived in this community for many years, I know how important it is to have a strong, dedicated, and principled leader representing us in Hartford, and I believe Kim Healy is that person.

Kim has consistently demonstrated her commitment to the values that matter most to our district: lower taxes, fiscal responsibility, public safety, and keeping zoning decisions local. At a time when Connecticut families are struggling with rising costs and uncertain economic conditions, Kim has been a staunch advocate for reducing the tax burden on hardworking citizens and promoting policies that foster economic growth and job creation.

Throughout her tenure as Wilton’s Selectman, Kim has worked tirelessly to ensure that the voices of her constituents are heard. Whether it’s advocating for small businesses, standing up for our law enforcement, or fighting to protect women, Kim has been a champion for her community. Her willingness to take a stand, even when it may not be politically convenient, speaks to her integrity and dedication to doing what is right for the people of Connecticut.

We need a representative who will continue to prioritize our needs, fight for common-sense policies, and defend our Constitutional freedoms. I am confident that Kim Healy will bring strong, principled leadership to Hartford, and I urge my fellow citizens to join me in supporting her candidacy.

Together, we can ensure that our community remains prosperous, safe, and flourishing for generations to come.

Sincerely,
Pavla Levin

Kim Healy is the best-qualified candidate to represent Wilton for the 42nd District seat. Kim is well-known to us as she is currently serving on Wilton’s Board of Selectmen since November 2021 and is well-acquainted with local issues here in Wilton. Kim would represent our interests well as our representative in Hartford.

Kim is a long-time resident of Wilton and actively involved in the local community, years of serving on the Wilton Library Board, including as treasurer, and for eight years a volunteer tax preparer for AARP.

From her background in public accounting at Price Waterhouse Coopers and as Wilton Library Treasurer, she has a keen sense of financial rectitude and accountability that is sorely needed in Connecticut if the state is to prosper again. Sadly, there are too few representatives in Hartford that feel or act the same way.

With Kim serving on Wilton’s highest board with distinction and having significant experience volunteering her time with various non-profit organizations, she certainly comes out ahead of her opponent on every category of importance.

Kim Healy is our best choice for the 42nd District seat representing Wilton.
Respectfully,
Jeffrey Rutishauser

I feel privileged to share my support of Kim Healy for our State Representative. As a recent transplant from California, where politics has become unbearable with way too much control of what goes on at the local level from the State. In Connecticut, local communities seem to have more influence on important issues and Kim’s dedication to Wilton is inspiring. 

Her personal background is inspiring; growing up in a family of police officers and healthcare workers, she understands the day-to-day challenges of fixed income living and dealing with our healthcare complexities. As a mother of four, with two in college, she lives with the financial impact of rising education costs. 

Kim’s professional background as a CPA, along with her leadership in local non-profits and involvement with the CT Reading Leadership Council, shows her commitment to ensuring responsible use of local resources and having a positive impact on our schools. She has served on the Board of Selectmen since 2021. She came close to winning the state representative election in 2022, gaining great experience for navigating her 2024 run. 

What’s refreshing to me is her motivation is not driven by any political party but by what is best for our citizens. Kim’s experience, integrity and enthusiasm makes her the perfect choice for state representative. 

Sincerely, 

Tom De Loia

Stroll along any of our quaint downtown streets — past the historic bookstore, the curated boutique, and the beckoning aroma of the donut shop — and you’ll see it. The empty storefront. A portrait of opportunity gone by, framed by its large cloudy window and littered with peeling paint. What happened? Where did it go? And why has nothing taken its place?

As a business owner, I know firsthand the countless challenges our local businesses endure. Skyrocketing utility rates, excessive taxes, and inefficient regulations place a burden not only on proprietors and their families, but on employees, customers, and our community. Businesses strangled by overhead costs struggle to pay staff a competitive wage and provide compelling service to customers. Businesses lost to restrictive pandemic policies are simply gone forever.

Still, I am optimistic. Small businesses are uniquely poised to flourish in an environment that champions innovation, responsible spending, and the exaltation of the American Dream. Kim Healy and Kami Evans have demonstrated a deep commitment to our small businesses and the communities they serve. They are staunch advocates for the fiscal conservatism and tax relief necessary to revitalize our economy.

Common sense policies and workable solutions will get us there. Kim and Kami will lead the way.

Please join me on Nov. 5 in voting for Kim Healy, Kami Evans, and the future of Connecticut’s small businesses.

Lana Giancarli

I am pleased to support Kim Healy for State Representative. As a CPA and former auditor, Kim has extensive experience in fiscal responsibility. She is focused on local issues that are important to our town. As a current member of the Board of Education, I am acutely aware of local needs and how important representation is. Kim has been appointed to the Reading Leadership Implementation Council and is a strong voice for local control. I am confident that Kim will be an advocate for our positions while in Hartford. Please join me in electing this well qualified candidate.

Lori Bufano
Board of Education Member
Former Board of Selectmen Member

This election is crucial, and we need all Republican candidates to win for a brighter future. Kim Healy and Kami Evans are dedicated to bringing common sense and sound policies to benefit not just the people of Wilton, but all of Connecticut. With your support, they can be the voices of reason and progress our state needs.

Our congressional candidate, Michael Goldstein, and senate candidate Matt Corey, are committed to restoring pride and prosperity to Wilton and Connecticut. Let’s give them the chance to lead with integrity and bring real change.

Vote Row B, together, we can shape a better tomorrow!

Kathleen Wrampe

I am writing to commend state representative candidate Kim Healy for her commentary on the Connecticut economy at the Wilton Library debate this week. Among the topics she emphasized, state and local expense management (and proactive action on state audits) is critical to the long-term sustainability of our population and economy. A low-tax, pro-business environment is foundational to attracting and retaining state residents, providing better paying jobs and delivering educational excellence.

What our district requires, and what is needed in Hartford, is demonstrated fiscal expertise. Kim brings a wealth of professional and volunteer experience to her candidacy. A former certified public accountant, since 2021 Kim has lent her financial skills as an elected member of the Wilton Board of Selectman, most notably ensuring responsible municipal spending. Moreover, Kim’s tenure on the employee retirement investment and post-employment benefits committees will translate directly to managing these critical issues at the state level. Finally, having served on the Reading Leadership Implementation Council and educated four children in our town, Kim is ideally positioned to be a strong voice for the district in retaining local decision-making for our schools and students.

As a decade-long resident, I encourage my fellow voters to send Kim Healy to Hartford as our State Representative!

With appreciation, 

Eamon Moran

I have had the privilege of knowing Kim Healy for many years, and I’m pleased to write a letter of support for her candidacy in 2024.

As a longstanding resident of the Wilton community, Kim Healy has given back to try to make Wilton a better place for the rest of us. She embraces many of the values that are important to my family. I’m not going to list her positions on the issues, as they are available on her website. I just want to share my thoughts about her character and why I’m voting for her.

I was brought up and told by my parents that our character is defined by what we do when no one else is looking. Kim is always trying to do the next right thing and looking for common sense solutions to the problems Wilton and Connecticut face economically, politically, socially and from a safety perspective.

Most importantly, she does this courageously. She’s endured hardships while campaigning and continues to this day to try to make our town and state a better place for everyone. She has the intellect, heart and courage to make it happen. She won’t back down. Kim is authentic. This is why she has my unwavering support. 

Warm regards,

Chris Lineberger

I am writing to support Kim Healy for her election to the State House of Representatives, representing District 42, which includes Wilton and parts of Ridgefield and New Canaan.

With a background in accounting and finance, Kim is perfectly prepared to represent our district in the State House, where financial accountability should be upheld as an important pillar supporting the wellbeing of the state. Kim is an enthusiastic public servant, volunteering her time for the past three years as a member of Wilton’s Board of Selectmen. She has also been donating numerous hours in helping local not-for-profits, including serving as the board treasurer in Wilton Library.

I have known Kim for several years, both as parents of kids in the same classes and through many public events. A caring wife and mother, Kim is natural in connecting with people and gathers support across the political spectrum. In the local election of 2021, she won the most votes among all contested positions in Wilton. She is friendly, open-minded, and very pleasant. 

Kim is committed to issues affecting our life. She has been vocal on issues such as education, cost-of-living, zoning, and the environment. If she is elected, I am confident that she will be a strong delegate for District 42.

I am writing to wholeheartedly support my friend Kim Healy in her candidacy for State Representative in Wilton, New Canaan and Ridgefield. Our friendship began in 2020 during the challenging times of COVID-19 when we collaborated to create Warrior Helpers, a community initiative that provided essential items to help prevent the spread of the virus.

Through this experience, I witnessed firsthand Kim’s unwavering dedication to our community and her genuine desire to help others. Her commitment to service is not just commendable; it’s inspiring. Since then, we have continued to work together at Minks to Sinks, where she served as co-chair. In just four short years, we’ve learned a lot about each other, and I can confidently say that Kim stands up for everyone and works diligently to uplift the residents.

I believe she will represent our community with honesty, passion and commitment. Her leadership style is rooted in collaboration and empathy, ensuring that all voices are heard and valued.

I encourage you to support Kim in this election. She has the vision and determination to make a meaningful impact, and I am excited about the future under her leadership.

Thank you for considering this important decision. Together, let’s support a candidate who truly cares about our community.

Warm regards,

Patty Tomasetti

I am proud to support Kim Healy for State Representative this November. In my years as a member of the Board of Trustees for the Wilton Library, and volunteer and member of the Wilton Garden Club and Family and Children’s Agency, Kim has been active, involved and generous. Kim also makes Wilton a better place through her service as selectwoman. She is committed to retaining local decision-making in our schools with regards to local reading curriculum. She was the treasurer for the Wilton Library Board and has worked on the state [Reading] Leadership Implementation Council. In addition to serving on the board of the Family [and] Children’s Agency, she has volunteered with me at the biannual Minks to Sink sale for years. She is a smart, capable, and generous woman who has our town’s best interests at heart. Kim’s incredible work ethic, intelligence and passion for our community are evident from her efforts on our behalf.

We are so fortunate to have such a qualified capable candidate for State Representative! Please vote for Kim on Election Day.

Sincerely,

Lianne Griswold Acosta-Rua

I’m delighted to endorse Kim Healy, Republican candidate for State Rep for the 42nd district.  That district includes much of the northwest area of New Canaan as well as Wilton and a portion of Ridgefield.  

Kim has served since 2021 as Selectman in the Town of Wilton, which means she will bring to Hartford an impressive depth of knowledge and experience about local issues. For many years she has kept current of New Canaan’s priorities by attending community forums here.  Kim always does her homework and has an insatiable appetite for both the major theses and the nitty-gritty details of local government.  She is a CPA with a major accounting firm experience, she understands and is an articulate speaker on a wide range of public policy issues.  Most of all, she is to me, on the right side of every major issue that CT residents face.
