I am writing to express my strong support for Dan Campbell as the most qualified candidate to fill the vacant seat on the Northfield Selectboard. Dan has lived in Northfield for 35 years. He is conscientious and dedicated as evidenced by his long service to the town. As a member of the Finance Committee for over 20 years he possesses a deep understanding of our town and school budgets, our financial strengths and vulnerabilities and a keen awareness of the pressures and concerns of Northfield taxpayers. As town clerk for 10 years and assistant town clerk for two years, he knows the townspeople and has served as part of the excellent Town Hall employee team that our town administrator has built over the past several years.

In addition to these credentials, he was co-chair of the Pioneer Valley Regional Building Committee during a period of renovation and expansion. As a former town administrator, I recognize that these are impressive qualifications for a Selectboard candidate. However, what really makes Dan the best candidate for this position is his ability to work with people, his sincere interest in our town and his honesty. He understands the importance of treating citizens, town officials and employees with respect and possesses openness to new ideas. He is the candidate who is supportive of professional town management and will work with our town administrator and other members of the Selectboard to move the town forward. The election is Tuesday, May 6. Please vote for Dan Campbell for NorthfieldSelectboard.
