Swampscott, vote Danielle Leonard tomorrow!

To the readers,

Why is Danielle Leonard the best candidate for the Select Board in Swampscott?

This is a decision about change. So much is and will be happening in Swampscott for the next decade. There's an old saying: "A good start makes for a good end." This is the time to start fresh.

In a recent letter to The Item, three past select board members: said "...we believe we are making progress in Swampscott, and that (Danielle’s opponent) is the candidate who will ensure that it continues" (Daily Item. Letters to the Editor, 4/19/24). If that is what you want, then vote for Danielle’s opponent who will provide more of the same; she’s tied her campaign to them.

Do you want your voice to be considered in the decisions of the Town Government? Vote for Danielle. If you want the same people, the same ideas, vote for her opponent.

Do you feel that Town Committees need a more diverse membership, and that all those requesting to be on a Board or Committee be brought to meet our residents so that everyone knows who's applied?

vote for Danielle!

If you think decisions about the continuation of employment of the Town Administrator should be decided by the Select Board constituted at the time that the contract is slated to end, then

vote for Danielle!

Do you want candidates to make time for Select Board candidate forums? Danielle wanted one this year. The Item offered to host one any day leading up to the election. Unfortunately, her opponent didn't follow the lead of most, if not all, of those prior and present Select Board members in making time to participate in such a forum.

We all must ask why 3 past Select Board members want Danielle's opponent elected? They represent the old ways and want the same old Town leadership.

Vote Danielle Leonard for Select Board April 30, 2024. She will work for the changes that are best for Swampscott.
