Please vote for Shannon Knall on Nov. 5th!

When someone running for office has a passion to serve, and has a fierce love of her community, we as town residents should be honored to cast a vote for such a person.  Shannon Knall is that person.

Shannon Knall is running for Simsbury Board of Selectmen. Since her appointment to the Board in January, Shannon hit the ground running.  Her commitment to this community is evident by her active participation throughout town: in the schools, at the Senior Center, at business openings and at events that welcome others to our community, like the Special Olympics.

Seeing a need to help other busy women in the community, Shannon created and hosted Simsbury's first Women’s Forum.  Shannon is also the Executive Director of Well Served Tennis Academy, a tennis camp for children with autism, which recently completed its third successful summer.   She does all of this while continuing her work to lead strong bipartisan grassroots efforts to pass and implement impactful policy for people with autism.

In this difficult economic environment, it is extremely important to do more with less.  Shannon has worked in support of responsible budgets that allow Simsbury to provide the services our residents need and the resources that help our town run efficiently. 

Simsbury deserves the level of commitment that Shannon has. My vote will be for Shannon Knall on November 5th.
