I encourage Brattleboro residents to vote for Oscar Heller for the contested three-year Selectboard seat.
I had the pleasure of working with Oscar on the Representative Town Meeting Finance Committee, where he paid close attention to financial details and wrote clear, concise reports for our citizens. He also served on the Energy Committee and has been an elected Town Meeting representative for five years.
Oscar and his local partners own two small Brattleboro businesses (web design and digital marketing). He started visiting the area in 2002 as a summer camper and moved to Brattleboro 10 years ago, first as a renter and next as a landlord. These 10 years have given him a clear understanding of the many complex housing issues.
In addition to his expertise and commitment, I am pleased that he represents a younger cohort and believe we should support these newer faces.
