A New Political Force in Town
The Coalition for Westport candidates for P&Z lost yesterday in their bid against the SWN/Democratic slate. In doing so they may have lost the battle but won the war. They made an impressive showing.
The Coalition is new. It has existed for less than one year. In that time it has garnered much support and, based on its vote tally, a clear mandate for its positions. To achieve close to 25% of the total vote, and to outpoll the other Westport minor party is a major accomplishment. The Coalition is now an official minor party, and it is the intention of those who built it from the ground up to be a continuing force on the political scene.

The nonpartisan Coalition is concerned with ideas and what is best for Westport. It is not a one issue entity and will unhesitatingly make its positions known in the future.
