The announcement of Rusty Bridle as a candidate for Selectmen allows the voting residents to review a candidate who has served his community in many areas for an extended period of time. I personally had the opportunity to work with Rusty on the Municipal Budget Committee and Hampton School Boards.
I do hope Rusty would consider resigning from the School Board so other citizens who would be interested in serving the School Board could sign up as a candidate. To continue to be on the school board while seeking another elected office would ultimately preclude the voters from electing a new member if Rusty is successful.
