Value Candidate Over Party

I have been a Branford resident for almost 40 years. Living here, I have learned that change does not come easy. Over time words like accountability, trust, integrity, and honesty have been thrown around by many. Yet few uphold their meaning. Leaders have used these words as a tool to reach an objective, then quickly moved on.

Our elected leader must be a role model. Ray Ingraham is just that. Take time to Google Mr. Ingraham. You will see a long list of service to the Town of Branford and countless support with town events. You will see a list of community awards and time spent working with our youth and sports leagues.

Ray is trustworthy and honest. A man of true integrity who we can elect and hold accountable to do what is best for our town. He is an honorable person and one I would be proud to have representing my family.

In these times where many are divided, we must value the candidate over the party. We must value these vital traits in a leader. We need to elect the best candidate for our town and that is Ray Ingraham.
