From the start, Donahue exceptional

I am writing in support of Chris Donahue’s candidacy for state representative of the 43rd District. I have known Chris since he attended the COMO Preschool. Early childhood educators know that much of a young child’s personality is formed in those early years. This was certainly true of Chris. Evident early on was his drive to attain knowledge and his determination to learn new skills. He was a hard worker and adapted to new situations easily. The one trait that stands out to me was how much Chris liked his schoolmates and how much they enjoyed his company. His interactions with his peers was strong and positive.

I have seen Chris grow into the young man he is today. I am incredibly proud to see all these same traits in him and more. His world view is global. He shares a passion to serve people. His birthright marks a long-standing history of volunteerism by his family. He wants to take his passion and energy to Hartford. It is a teacher’s joy to see their students go on to become productive members of the communities they choose to live in.

Chris has my vote. Will he have yours? Noreen M. Kepple Stonington
