Re-Elect Matt Raimondi
To the Editors:
I am writing to support Matt Raimondi for re-election to the Wilton Board of Finance.
Since his election to the BOF in 2021 and to the chairmanship in 2023, he has worked tirelessly to provide transparency and clear communication with residents and other boards. He has the ability to translate complex issues, such as the townwide revaluation process, into concepts which are understandable to the public. When I have emailed with questions about issues, he always responds promptly, supporting his response with data. Having a professional background in finance, he brings a strong skillset to the Board of Finance.
One of his greatest gifts is diplomacy. Over the past two budget cycles he has worked closely with leadership on the Board of Selectmen and the Board of Education to set a more collaborative tone around the budget. Even in the face of controversy and disagreement, Matt is respectful and calm, always focusing on long-term priorities, fiscal responsibility and transparency.
Matt Raimondi grew up in Wilton, attending Wilton public schools. We are so fortunate he and his wife chose to not only return here to the community he loves, but to serve on our behalf.

Fresh Leadership Needed on P&Z — Vote Trevor Huffard
To the Editor:
I strongly support Trevor Huffard for the Planning and Zoning Commission in November. Trevor brings exactly what our community needs: proven leadership and a practical approach to improve our planning process.
Trevor’s extensive involvement demonstrates his commitment to Wilton. As executive director of Wilton CERT, member of the Zoning Board of Appeals, board member of the Wilton Garden Club and more, he understands our town’s complexities from various perspectives. Having raised two children in Wilton, he’s genuinely invested in our community.
Trevor’s leadership, transparency and commitment to this town are exactly what Wilton’s P&Z needs. His experience and resourcefulness make him uniquely qualified to create a more effective, inclusive process.
Trevor Huffard has the vision and skills to guide us forward.

Andy Warren will Bring Expertise, Vision to BOS
To the Editor:
I’m an enthusiastic supporter of Andy Warren for Wilton’s Board of Selectmen. Why Because he brings both expertise and vision to the job.
A Wilton resident for over a decade, Andy has more than 25 years of financial leadership as a CPA and strategic advisor. He’s helped organizations from startups to global firms succeed through sound financial modeling, tax planning and growth strategy.
Andy is committed to preserving Wilton’s small-town character while supporting thoughtful, balanced development. He understands that addressing housing diversity must not come at the expense of infrastructure, traffic flow or community values. At the same time, he strongly supports revitalizing our public amenities — parks, recreation and modern infrastructure — as smart investments in our quality of life.
With a proven record of board leadership, Andy will bring fiscal discipline, transparency and strategic thinking to the Board of Selectmen. He’s not just qualified — he’s passionate about keeping Wilton vibrant and well-managed.
That’s why I’m voting for Andy Warren and urge my fellow Wiltonians to do the same
