Thanks to voters of Hartford
This is a letter of thanks to all those who supported my reelection campaign to the Hartford Selectboard. Many of you wrote letters to the
Valley News Forum, made social media posts, posted signs and held conversations with neighbors. Hearing such support from so many residents, as well as so many community members who run nonprofits in Hartford, made all the difference and was the key to success.

This is why I strongly support Devin Wilkie (Ward 2) and Sylvia Puglisi (at-large) for Lebanon City Council on March 9. Both these candidates have demonstrated that they will put in the work to be the people’s advocate in Lebanon city government.
