I have spent some time thinking about who is ready to lead our town in the right direction and the list I have compiled is bipartisan. I have chosen people who I believe are independent thinkers, have shown in the past that they can do a great job, and most importantly, care about the town. In no way, shape, or form am I saying the people I don't "endorse" are not independent thinkers, can't do a good job, nor am I saying they do not care about the town. The people I chose are very simply the people I believe are ready to lead the town in a positive direction.

The people I have chosen to support are from both parties because party affiliation means little to me. I believe these people are the ones who could lead this town into the future. Lastly, if anyone has any questions as to why I didn't name any particular person, please ask. For some people I have reasons I did not choose them.
