Westport voters will have a special opportunity on Sunday, October 13th to meet the Republican candidates for Westport’s Board of Selectman, Board of Finance, Board of Education, Probate Judge, Zoning Board of Appeals, and others at the Republican Campaign Headquarters Open House at 4:00 p.m. at 251 Riverside Avenue. All voters are welcome to attend the wine and cheese event, and to have an open discussion of the issues with the candidates.  Attendees are also encouraged to bring food pantry donations for Homes with Hope’s Gillespie Center.  The GOP will be collecting donations for the organization at Republican Party headquarters throughout the campaign season.  

“The Republican team, lead by First Selectman candidate Jim Marpe and Second Selectman candidate Avi Kaner, are an extremely qualified and talented group of public servants, and Westport will undoubtedly benefit from their leadership during these uncertain times,” remarked Westport Republican Party Chairwoman Desiree Soli.  “This event presents a wonderful opportunity for voters to meet the candidates in a relaxed and fun environment so they can exchange ideas and discuss the issues in advance of this important election.”

“We are also excited to help collect food pantry items and donations for Homes with Hope,” added Soli.  “They are a wonderful organization that does terrific work in the community, and we are delighted to aid their efforts on behalf of those in need.” Among the items that the organization is requesting are: Breakfast cereal (hot or cold), powdered milk, canned fruit, peanut butter, jelly or jam, canned soup, chili or stew, coffee or tea, pasta sauce, dry pasta, macaroni and cheese, rice, tuna or other canned meat, canned vegetables, pancake, cake, muffin, cookie mix, salad dressing/marinade, and powdered drink mix.  Financial donations are also accepted.  Please make checks out to Homes with Hope.

The Westport Republican Campaign Headquarters Open House will be held Sunday, October 13 from 4:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. at 251 Riverside Avenue.  For more information, please contact Desiree Soli at 203-400-2773.
