BRATTLEBORO-What's going to differentiate Nell Mayo and Isaac Evans-Frantz from the other one-year candidates is that are working for the benefit of our entire community - not just the business community or property owners.
They can differentiate themselves as candidates with experience serving Brattleboro. They will bring positive energy and a neighborly spirit in the context of disastrous policy.
This is what's going to win the election and bring our community's future to a more equitable, sustainable, prosperous, safe, and unified town for us and generations of our young.
They are planting the seed of hope for a brighter future and bring a stabilized balance of peace, fair justice, and transparency for all and an economical and equitable unity in Brattleboro's community in an already-divided, unstable society across the country.
The next young generation needs hope, not disparity and division and lack of trust and faith in our town and government.
