Eastes has a strong mandate to take to Montpelier

GUILFORD-The appearance of Nancy Gassett billboards in Vernon and Guilford reminds me that it's time to vote for Zon Eastes to represent us in the Legislature. The choice between the two candidates is nearly as stark as what we're seeing in the presidential campaign.

As chair, Zon has led the Guilford Selectboard in carrying out the policies endorsed by residents at Town Meeting and in elections. He's been steadfast despite the lawsuits and attempts at intimidation from opponents of those policies.

As shown by the recent primary results, Zon's well-earned popularity provides him with a strong mandate to take to Montpelier.
