To the Editor:

I am writing to endorse Bryan Atherton for Legislative Council District 2. My family has lived in Newtown since 1975 and we raised our family in Newtown and grew a prosperous damage restoration business that the next generation is now operating, which was started in Newtown in 1982.

I have known Bryan Atherton for over 20 years and have nothing but good things to say about Bryan and his ability to lead. Bryan is very experienced with finance and accounting which gives him the ability to understand how to run an organization. He has given me good guidance on the growth of my business over the years. I have also worked with Bryan on several real estate projects and have been very impressed and pleased with his ability to get the job done and provide great customer service. Additionally, he is a man of integrity with strong family values.

I would recommend all voters, regardless of affiliation, to consider Bryan Atherton for Legislative Council for District 2. He will do a great job to help lead Newtown to continued prosperity and we are looking forward to his leadership.
