To the editor:
The Stockbridge Democratic caucus has enthusiastically endorsed Patrick White for Selectman, Dr. John Loiodice for Sewer and Water Commissioner, and Dr. Elias Lefferman for Board of Health. We ask you to vote for these three outstanding candidates. Your vote matters!
Vote to reelect Patrick White to the Stockbridge Select Board. Three more years will enable Patrick to finish projects and pursue new ones. He has worked hard and brought new energy, involvement, and ideas to the town. He has done a good job for us, but there is still more to do.
Patrick supports citizen participation in and access to all town meetings. He was the only member of the previous Select Board to support last year’s successful citizen petition to require hybrid meetings. He secured the funding for and the equipment needed to record meetings in both town meeting rooms. He has worked closely with CTSB to ensure that all town meetings have remote access and can also be watched later.
Patrick has served on Laurel Hill Association and town committees including the Conservation Commission and the Stockbridge Bowl Stewardship Commission. He volunteered at the Talbot Center and the Botanical Gardens and drove the harvester on Stockbridge Bowl. He continues to attend and participate in almost every committee meeting and town event. Townspeople know that they can reach out to Patrick and that he will respond to their concerns.
As chairman, Patrick has proposed a number of actions to benefit town residents, the environment, and Stockbridge life. He does not shy away from public comments but also knows when to table an issue.
Visit his website to learn more about why he’s running, his accomplishments, and future goals. Be sure to explore his photo gallery.
Your vote is your voice! Please vote for the candidates who appear on the ballot as a Democratic Caucus Nominee. Democracy is not a spectator sport.
