To the editor:
I encourage a vote for Matt Brand for School Committee in the Town Election. Matt is a solid contributor to the government committees on which he has served, and his collaborative approach to solving problems and building consensus is needed on the committee we entrust to lead the Natick public schools.
I have served with Matt and appreciate the range of experiences he brings to volunteering in town government, how he is a very active contributor and engages creatively, respectfully, and thoughtfully. The public schools will always need to work well with other town agencies, and Matt’s many town volunteer gigs support that partnership.
We have several well qualified candidates in this election, and hats off to everyone who is willing to run for office and serve the community. It’s not an easy job to do well.
My first vote in the school committee election is for Matt, and I hope voters agree.
