Elect Jeff Blumenthal

Simsbury voters will have an opportunity to elect a Selectman on March 1 in the special election to fill a vacancy. The winner will be joining the board at a critical time. With state aid expected to decrease and a continuing desire to keep property tax increases to a minimum, the budget cycle will force the board to make many difficult choices. Also on the agenda is the study of busy Route 10, charter revision, and growing Simsbury’s tax base.

The choice is clear in this race: Jeff Blumenthal is the strongest candidate and best suited for this important office.

Blumenthal understands the challenges and opportunities Simsbury faces and, as a consensus builder, is prepared for the hard work that lies ahead in finding smart solutions for Simsbury’s future.

Jeff has deep roots in this community, a family man profoundly committed to his children, his faith and his neighbors. He is committed to his community as well, sharing his intellect, talents and compassion to a multitude of volunteer efforts.

Mr. Blumenthal is a dedicated and trusted public servant. He was an early pioneer in the environmental movement, one of the founders of the recycling committee. There, he paved the way for many of thr green initiatives we see growing in Simsbury today.

As a member of the economic development commission, Jeff provided key leadership in growing Simsbury’s economic base, making sound decisions without jeopardizing Simsbury character.

Currently a member of the library board of trustees, Jeff is one of their most passionate advocates, safeguarding quality and resources while championing fiscal responsibility.

Of most significance, Jeff Blumenthal brings people together; he listens — hearing every voice — and acts responsibly, addressing everyone’s needs,   

It is crucial that Simsbury residents vote on March 1 and that they vote for Jeff Blumenthal.
