Candidates Moor and Khanna bring vision and leadership to the Board of Selectmen
When Anthony Moor and Rachel Khanna, Democratic candidates for First Selectman and Selectwoman, posed for a campaign photo on the Town Hall lawn, with the stately clock behind them, the hands of the clock were frozen. What an apt metaphor for their opponents. Like that clock, Camillo’s leadership has been stuck in time, ignoring how Greenwich has changed, and failing to plan for the current and future needs of the town.
“For a number of years Greenwich has not paid attention to keeping things up,” says Moor. Khanna adds, “Our town is not what it used to be. Our current leaders are reactive, rather than proactive.”
A Board of Selectmen in need of leadership
Greenwich’s executive branch is a three-member Board of Selectmen led by the First Selectman, the town’s chief executive. Republicans have controlled it for 92 of the past 100 years. Moor and Khanna believe that too many years of one-party rule has bred complacency.
Moor, a two-term member of the Representative Town Meeting, chairs its Transportation Committee. He credits a long local news career for his understanding of what makes towns thrive. On TV, in print, and online, he interviewed members of Congress and people on the street, covered hurricanes and town meetings—a beat that taught him that good government needs leaders who listen.
Khanna has a long history of serving Greenwich, most recently as a state representative where she earned a reputation as a results-driven public servant. She secured over $100 million for school construction, road safety improvements, and nonprofit services for her district, which includes a part of Stamford. A mother of four, Khanna trains as a triathlete when she’s not volunteering at organizations like Fill in the Blanks or advocating for our community.
Moor and Khanna will replace procrastination with planning
Greenwich is a gem. Our excellent schools, beautiful coastline, and low taxes have always been a draw. But we can’t take those advantages for granted. “Greenwich has a backlog of projects to bring our infrastructure up to date, and no plan for completing them,” Khanna explains.
That includes rebuilding the Hamill Skating Rink, renovating North Street School, hardening our sewage treatment plant, widening stormwater pipes to protect homes from flooding, and bringing schools into ADA compliance. Under Camillo, Moor and Khanna contend, postponement has taken the place of planning: the Board of Estimate and Taxation’s (BET) Debt Policy Committee hasn’t met since 2020, and this year the BET “disappeared” roughly $130 million worth of projects from the capital plan.
“The way we can address the needs of the future is by having a vision, a plan, and then a strategy for how we achieve that plan,” says Moor. He reels off examples of things they would do differently. There’s the reconstruction of Old Greenwich School and Central Middle School (CMS), which could have been done for millions less if we had financed the work when municipal debt was less than 1%, rather than waiting until CMS was condemned. There’s the position of traffic czar, which was eliminated in 2009, leaving Greenwich in snarls of traffic and dangerous conditions, as cars speed through residential streets. There’s the fact that not a single bike lane has been striped in town, or bike lockers at the train stations, forcing more people into their cars to get kids to school or to commute to trains.
Then there are the projects that are not getting done because our current leadership is leaving grant money on the table, according to Khanna. Take the Glenville Corridor traffic improvement project, which was stalled for eight years, until Khanna, as state representative, hustled to unlock $6.5 million in state funding. That kind of advocacy comes from listening to people. In between legislative sessions, Khanna conducted listening tours around her district, at doors or over coffee. “Talking directly to neighbors helped me understand what is important to residents so I could focus on getting their needs met.”
Moor and Khanna see the municipal election this November as a crossroads. “We can settle for what we have and continue falling behind our neighboring towns,” Moor says, “or we can usher in a new era of fiscal responsibility, that preserves our quality of life and our low taxes.”
To elect Moor and Khanna, please vote Row A on your ballot.
Real experience. Real leadership.
