New Canaan Teen Endorses Kit Devereaux for First Selectman ‘Because of How She Treated Me’; 10/29/17 Letter to the New Canaanite by Victor Alvarez
Dear Editor,
I’m 17 so I can’t vote in the upcoming election, but if I could I’d vote for Kit. I met Kit at St. Mark’s Church where we are both parishioners, but we really became friends on a tour of historic barns in town.
I was the only kid on the tour, and she noticed me taking pictures of the barns and drawing in a sketchbook. She took an interest in me and my work. She ended up hiring me to do some architectural drawings for the League of Women Voters, and later for herself, to draw her house for her Christmas card. She photoshopped her dog, Louis into the finished drawing, which shows how great she is because it made it better by giving it a heart.
I know Kit is for kids, for animals, and for our town because of how she treated me and how I see her treat others—with respect, kindness, and generosity. Vote for Kit!
