I am writing to enthusiastically endorse Joe Laurin for Select Board. As his neighbor for the past five years, I’ve witnessed firsthand his exceptional dedication to our community and his proven leadership qualities. Joe isn’t just talking about making a difference; he’s ready to enact sustainable change and prepare for our future.

Here’s 3 reasons why you should vote for Joe Laurin.

1) He’ll champion local businesses: Joe will advocate for fostering small businesses and diversifying our tax base through thoughtful legislation, a critical step as we navigate both financial uncertainty and the opportunities presented by developments like MCI-Concord. He is a data-driven leader and collaborative decision maker.

2) He’s deeply committed to our community: Joe’s involvement with “Kicks for Cancer” and his service as a trustee for the Scholarship Fund of Concord demonstrates his commitment to education and empowering young people.

And 3) Character matters. The character of our Select Board members directly impacts our community. Joe Laurin exemplifies the qualities of a dedicated neighbor and community advocate. Picture him offering a helping hand or listening ear, because that’s the kind of person he is — perpetually thoughtful, creative, and compassionate. Electing Joe Laurin to the Select Board means having that character working for you. Please vote for Joe Laurin for Select Board.
