To the Editor:
I was very pleased to learn that Jennifer Swanson was running for our county council. I cannot imagine a more qualified candidate. I have known Jennifer for more than 20 years. She is smart, informed, well organized, articulate and responsible. She has a wonderful way of bringing people together, making people feel heard and diffusing conflict and tension. She has years of experience leading community forms, addressing ferry issues and participating in educational policies.
We would be incredibly fortunate to have her addressing the challenges that face our islands. Without reservation, she has my 100% support and vote.
