Editor’s note: Following is an opinion submitted by Westporter Louis E. D’Onofrio Jr.

I am writing to convey my unequivocal support for David Rosenwaks in his candidacy for Westport Selectman. At a time when prudent leadership, governmental transparency, and a spirit of collaboration are paramount, David embodies the depth of experience and principled vision that Westport both deserves and requires.

David is not merely a dedicated civic participant, but a seasoned professional with a demonstrated record of judicious decision-making, strategic foresight, and a nuanced understanding of the multifaceted challenges facing our community. Whether the issue is sustainable development, fiscal stewardship, or long-term infrastructure planning, David approaches each matter with analytical rigor and an unwavering commitment to public service.

What truly distinguishes David is his ability to engage—authentically and respectfully—with a broad spectrum of constituents. He listens with intention, navigates divergent perspectives with diplomacy, and fosters consensus through reasoned dialogue. His leadership style is not reactive but deliberative—anchored in core values and an inclusive vision for Westport’s future.

As we chart a course forward, it is imperative that we elect leaders who transcend partisanship and prioritize the common good. David Rosenwaks exemplifies this ethos. I urge my fellow residents to join me in casting a vote for David this November. Westport will be in capable and conscientious hands.

Sincerely,

Louis E. D’Onofrio Jr.
Westport
