My candidacy for reelection to the Stockbridge Select Board

I am looking forward to three more years to work for our town on its many ongoing and important projects.

To the editor:

My first three years on the Stockbridge Select Board have gone quickly. There has been a tremendous amount of time spent learning about governance, the mechanisms of decision making, as well as the content of the various topics, projects, and our current legislative decisions.

I want to express my appreciation and gratitude for the citizens of the Town of Stockbridge who believed in my ability to roll up my sleeves and work for all the residents. It has been an honor and privilege to work with my colleagues on the Select Board and the capable, hard working Town Hall employees.

I am looking forward to three more years to work for our town on its many ongoing and important projects. My strong work ethic, dedication, professionalism, and my ability to not quit in the face of adversity provide the necessary skills to continue working for our entire community. I would like to see our projects through to completion and contribute to a stronger future together, because change is inevitable. We can make the best decisions possible for our future.

I would like to ask for your vote on Tuesday, May 20. Thank you very much for your support.

Jamie Minacci
Chair of the Select Board
Stockbridge
