BRATTLEBORO — I write in support of Elizabeth McLoughlin for one of the two one-year seats on the Brattleboro Selectboard.
I first met Liz in the fall of 2007 shortly after she and her family moved to town. Her daughter Mary was in many of the same classes as my son Kai-Ming, and over the years I had many interactions with her.
I found Liz to be a caring and knowledgeable volunteer. Her work on the Planning Commission, the Finance Committee and the Skatepark (BASIC) Committee has made a difference in the community, has prepared her for the duties of the Selectboard, and shows she works well with others.
As a former Brattleboro town attorney, I have had the pleasure of working with many citizens who served on the Selectboard and other town committees. I believe Liz would be a great addition to our town government.
