Hi everyone! I’ve been hearing some talk about my stepdad, David Wolfram, who’s running for the Selectboard, and I wanted to take a moment to clear a few things up. First and foremost, he is very supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. It’s honestly hurtful to hear otherwise, especially since we have close family members who are part of that community. This is something he deeply respects and stands by.

David doesn’t lean strongly toward either political side — he’s not about being liberal or conservative. He genuinely just wants what’s best for Deerfield. This town has been his home his whole life, and he truly cares about the people who live here. He has also sacrificed so much for this town, having served as a firefighter, a police officer, and an EMT. His entire life has been about serving and protecting Deerfield, and that dedication says everything about his character.

David also has a deep love for the American flag and what it stands for — freedom, unity, and democracy. Please don’t read into that as anything other than what it is: a sign of his respect for this country and everyone in it. He believes strongly in democratic values and in doing what’s right for the community. At the end of the day, can we all just be kind to one another?
