Dear Fellow Delegates,
When folks in our town and in our state look for help and advice regarding public service and philanthropic leadership, two words are regularly spoken: “Call Leora.”
Time and time again, Leora has been there to say “yes” to many worthy causes. Now, when our state needs to recover from a devastating pandemic, correct its direction under one-party rule, and fill a vacancy in the 36th State Senate district, Leora has stepped up again to offer her blood, sweat and tears to be our party’s candidate for State Senator.
As a delegate to the district convention on July 10th and as a State Central Committee member, I am honored to whole-heartedly support Leora Levy, who is a pillar of our community and a standard-bearer for our party. No potential state senate candidate of either party has Leora Levy’s distinguished track record of accomplishment as a leader who gets things done.
When Greenwich needed a new animal shelter, Leora got it done with a public private partnership called Shelter Our Strays. When the Bruce Museum of Arts and Science needed a board leader and a co-chairman to help it transition to the next level of serving our region, Leora led the expansion of the museum. When the Greenwich Board of Selectmen needed a member for the Selectmen’s Nominations Advisory Committee, leaders of both parties put their trust in Leora.https://1f3a63f242ca25f683f201bf1c951f9b.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-38/html/container.html
When our U.S. soldiers at Bagram Airforce Base needed help, Leora was there. What was going to take the federal government six months to furnish the first Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Clinic in theatre, Leora got it done in six weeks and sent enough supplies to furnish a second clinic. She not only raised the funds, she saw to it that supplies were sourced properly, transported across the world, and successfully received by the soldiers.
In twelve years as First Selectman of the Town of Greenwich, and decades before as a volunteer in public service, I have been honored to get to know many of our town’s leaders. None have been more committed and effective than Leora Levy. I hope you will join me in supporting my friend, Leora Levy, who seeks our party’s nomination for the 36th State Senate District.
