Wednesday, February 17, 2021 — Issue 600

BELLOWS FALLS — Our opportunity to participate in the Democratic process by voting for town Selectboard candidates is fast approaching. Three candidates for the Rockingham Selectboard seats have the energy and drive to fill these seats.

These candidates have an understanding of the history and the present, and they have a vision for our town's future.

I urge you to vote for Bonnie North (three year term), Rick Cowan (one-year term), and Elijah Zimmer (one-year term), on Tuesday, March 2, or by absentee ballot.
