To the Editor:

I am writing to endorse Aaron Carlson for a position on the Board of Finance.  I am fortunate to know Aaron as a parent, coach, volunteer and businessman. 

Very simply, Aaron “gets things done.” He brings a strong combination of passion and pragmatism to any project/endeavor he undertakes. I know he will bring these same skills as a member of the Board of Finance.

Aaron’s passion to help others as a volunteer community leader with Newtown Kindness has provided inspiration to others to give back to their communities. His business experience includes fiduciary responsibility for a $800 million budget which demonstrates his ability to develop and implement innovative and prudent cost management decisions. This is the combination of real world experience and community involvement that our community needs at this time.

Please join me in endorsing and voting for Aaron Carlson to the Board of Finance.
