Chamber of Commerce Endorses Sexton, Halsey

The Reading-North Reading Chamber of Commerce held a Reading Selectmen Candidate’s forum on March 20, 2017 to discuss critical issues that affect the business community in preparation for the upcoming April 4th election. The Chamber would like to thank candidates Andrew Friedmann, Kevin Sexton and

John Halsey for attending and for the thoughtful remarks they offered at the event. The Chamber also thanks the Reading Cooperative Bank for hosting the meeting.

After reflecting on the candidates’ statements, The Reading-North Reading Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors is officially endorsing Selectmen John Halsey and Kevin Sexton. Andrew Friedmann was articulate in his presentation, and had many good ideas and suggestions. The stated positions taken by John Halsey and Kevin Sexton are more in line with needs of the business community as are their plans for economic development. Because Andrew Friedmann’s views on business-related issues are still evolving at this point, the business community is more comfortable supporting John Halsey and Kevin Sexton.
