To the Editor:

I support Sean Stanton, Great Barrington farmer and native, for a third term as Town Selectman.  I had the privilege of working closely with Sean when I served as a Selectman myself. He is a clear, forceful thinker who earns the respect of all who work with him. As an innovative young farmer, he brings unique insight to his Board work . . . and a proven ability to put in the necessary hours. I urge you to vote for Sean Stanton to a third term on May 12th.
