BRATTLEBORO-I have known Isaac Evans-Frantz since he was in high school. I have always admired his dedication to causes. I believed in him then and I still do.
We need someone who will continue to bring the concerns of folks on the street, small businesses downtown, and the elderly to the Selectboard. Isaac has been listening and doing just that.
We need someone who will dig down into the weeds for transparency on town issues, including the budget. Isaac has been a master at bringing people together with respect and inclusion and creating compromise that works for everyone. This is so important given the huge divisiveness in our community today.
He is incredibly articulate and outspoken and not afraid to ask the hard questions, bringing transparency to the workings of the Selectboard and our town government.
There are some great candidates in this election. Isaac has done an extraordinary job on the Selectboard and rises to the top of the list of candidates based on his performance and commitment to strengthen Brattleboro.
