Kim Healy, the Republican candidate for the General Assembly, 42nd District encompassing all of Wilton and sections of New Canaan and Ridgefield, has been endorsed by the Independent Party of Connecticut. The endorsement underscores Healy’s commitment to representing the voice of all constituents regardless of their political affiliation.
To gain the support of the Independent Party of Connecticut, in part, Healy answered an in-depth survey, sharing her vision and ideas on issues ranging across the environment, housing, education, ranked-choice voting, spending and taxes, infrastructure and more. Healy is also endorsed by the Republican Party.
“I am honored to receive the endorsement of the Independent Party of Connecticut, a party committed to putting forth common-sense ideas and solutions to address the many issues facing our State,” Healy said. “I’ve always made decisions by putting people over politics and maintain that all elected officials should act and think independently. I believe that this position has earned me the trust of my constituents and colleagues across party affiliations.”
Healy is serving in her first term on the Wilton Board of Selectmen. She previously served on the Wilton Conservation Commission and had been appointed as Trustee to the Wilton Library Association by the Board of Selectmen. She’s also an active volunteer with Wilton’s Minks to Sinks, board member of Family and Children’s Agency in Norwalk and is an appointed member of the statewide Reading Leadership Implementation Council.
Healy has been involved with CT169Strong, a non-partisan statewide advocacy group committed to local control of zoning and finding solutions to address Connecticut’s affordability issues. She has been a vocal and proactive advocate on making meaningful reforms to 8-30g, the State’s affordable housing law. Kim is also a volunteer tax preparer for low income and retired CT residents.
Healy and her husband, Michael, have lived in Connecticut since 1994, and Wilton since 2008, where they raised their four children. As an active member of the community, Healy has a deep understanding of the issues facing senior citizens, working families, children and small business owners. Professionally, Healy is a CPA and a former auditor with PriceWaterhouseCoopers, LLC.
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!
