KEENE, N.H.-I’ve had the good fortune of having a very lengthy and successful career in education. By far the best years were the 33 years that I worked in Brattleboro and the WSESU.
My greatest honor was to work with several thousand students. Equally satisfying has been to see former students succeed as adults.
One former student that I am very proud of is Isaac Evans-Franz, who is a candidate for the Brattleboro Selectboard. I first met Isaac many years ago when he entered Brattleboro Area Middle School as a seventh grader, where he stood out and impressed immediately as a school leader and a young man with a caring nature and a vision.
As a Selectboard member for the last year, Isaac has continued to be true to his core beliefs. He has consistently tried to bring multiple voices to the important conversations about the relevant issues of the town.
Isaac has ensured that all constituent groups are respected and listened to, which is vitally important in town governance. Additionally, he is acutely aware of the fiscal health of the town and wants to balance the needs of the community with costs and taxation, in order for Brattleboro to thrive and meet the needs of all of its residents.
For these reasons and many more, I ask you to consider Isaac Evans-Franz for Selectboard.
