Gonçalves, Shah and Hadlock will support the library

Dear Editor,

Some people have been and remain unengaged when it comes to Town Board elections, thinking local elections are not important. But every election is important, and it is critical that our voices be heard – especially in these times. Local elections help define our community. Our Town Board reflects who we are and where our priorities lie.

The Lewisboro Library is a focal point of our community, and a true gathering location at the center of town. It is clear which of our board members value the importance of funding the library. The board’s continuing support of the library as well as that of community events and coordinated programming such as Pride and Juneteenth, demonstrate their commitment to our community, and where their priorities lie.

As you take time to carefully evaluate the candidates and what they can offer our community, please consider the accomplishments and excellent leadership of our Supervisor, Tony Gonçalves and Board Member Mary Shah. And although Julia Hadlock hasn’t served on the Town Board, her skill set after nine years on the Katonah-Lewisboro School Board and various volunteer roles in our community will transfer well.

Please join me in voting for Gonçalves, Shah and Hadlock to ensure our town maintains its restored excellent credit rating; who will support and reflect the town ethos; and will continue to lead our town forward!
