When Republican First Selectman candidate Wendy Bowditch appeared at an event in Easton sponsored by a radical ultra-right anti-choice, anti-LGBTQ, anti-teacher, pro-book banning group, she didn’t seem to understand why so many residents were enraged.

 

Clearly, she still doesn’t understand. Bowditch told The Courier: I don’t think of them as exclusionary and suggested we could just agree to disagree on basic rights.

 

She could not be more wrong and that’s what this election is about. Everyone in Easton deserves to feel welcome and safe. Democrats believe that accepting a radical right group that promises to deny LGBTQ citizens basic rights, and to deny women the right to choose, and supports the banning of books, should not represent us in Easton.
