Brett Currier has common sense & you know where he stands

To the editor,

Gilmanton voters:

First I would like to commend all the candidates running for the position of selectman. It’s a frustrating job with low pay and it’s amazing anyone would want it.

I am writing this letter to endorse Brett Currier for Selectman. I have known Brett since he moved to Gilmanton in the early ‘80s. Being in the same business, we have worked together on many projects. He is honest, organized and thorough.

I support Brett’s candidacy because I feel he will do a good job managing the finances and matters of the town. He has common sense and speaks his mind so you always know where he stands. Brett has consistently attended planning, zoning and selectmen’s meetings for several years; often being the only member of the public in attendance. I believe he is the most informed of the candidates.

In a small town it’s hard to run for office without having some perceived conflict of interest. In fact, if a person shops in the community, hires local contractors, has children in the school system, belongs to a local church or organization, is employed in the community, has friends or family in the community…. they will face conflicts of interest at some point in their elected position. It’s not the conflict but how an official handles that conflicts that’s important.

I endorse Brett Currier for selectman and urge you to consider casting your vote for him on Tuesday, March 13. But regardless of your choice, please vote. Especially in these hard economic times, it’s the people who vote that will make a difference for the town.
