Letter To The Editor: Tom Bowley For Tewksbury Select Board

Dear Editor,

I would like to voice my strong support for Mr. Tom Bowley for Select Board. Tom has witnessed the changes that have taken place in our Town we call home. Many for good but some have changed our small-town way of life. He is not a new person to our Town that wants to change the fabric or history of our community, rather he is a 3rd generation Tewksbury resident, and his son is now the 4th generation. He is vested in our community as a small business and homeowner. Tom has served as the past President of the Tewksbury Rotary Club and has worked with other small businesses in our Town trying to promote Economic Development opportunities for local merchants. Many times, we have discussed the concerns of many residents in our Town that are dealing with high water and sewer bills, taxes, and traffic concerns from all the new development. He knows firsthand that there is a fine line between adding additional housing and redeveloping land in our Town and what may happen if we continue to add additional traffic to our already busy roadways.

Tom has never run for political office before but thought it would be a good time to have the residents’ voice heard in our community. He is the type of man that will always listen to the residents’ point of view and try to work with them to find a solution that will make our Town a better place for all.

I believe Tom would be a wonderful addition to the Tewksbury Select Board and for that reason I hope you join me in voting for Mr. Tom Bowley on Saturday April 6th, 2024.

Respectfully,

Mark Kratman

Tewksbury Select Board Member
