A Proven and Prudent Leader

Tom Banisch is the clear choice for first selectman of Madison. I have lived in Madison for nearly 30 years and I believe Tom has shown as our elected first selectman of Madison the true meaning of leading from the front. Tom is a proven and prudent leader who understands the needs of our amazing town. Importantly, he knows how to bring people together and bridge divisions—just witness the wide range of people endorsing his candidacy.

Tom has dealt with our budget in a complete and thoughtful way. He knows the issues Madison is facing with the budget challenges brought on with the leadership in Hartford. He deals with them in an exact and complete manner to the benefit of all of the citizens of Madison.

It is significant, and in every citizen’s interest, that Tom not only brings us a vision of progress, but also understands the nuts and bolts of the infrastructure needed to make things happen. Madison has prospered under Tom’s leadership. We can count on Tom Banisch to keep us moving with his proven brand of leadership. I encourage your readers to vote for Tom Banisch for first selectman—he cares about all of our futures.
