As a homeowner, a taxpayer and a parent, I know the past two years have
been a tough time for everyone. That's why we made the tough decisions
to cut spending, reduce town government and balance our budget. Yet we
protected core services and quality neighborhood schools. And did it with
a bipartisan vote and without a referendum. The next two years won't be
any easier. I ask for your vote so I can help keep West Hartford a great place
to live and raise my new daughther.

West Hartford is a great community. We demand exceptional
leadership. As our Mayor, Scott Slifka led us through some of the
most remarkable years of renewal and community growth in
decades. Now, he's providing the prudent leadership we need
to get through more difficult financial times. Scott's priority is
always clear: What's best for West Hartford.
