To the Editor:

I will be very proud to cast my ballot in support of Jordana Bloom for town clerk on November 2, and I hope you’ll join me.

I have had the great pleasure of working closely with Jordana on the Legislative Council for the past two years. She is deeply empathetic, incredibly smart, and unafraid to stand up for what’s right. Her care for this community is earnest. (If you bump into her in town over the next few days, she will regale you with a description of her preparations for the Halloween festivities on Main Street — something she throws herself into every year, all for the sake of delighting our community’s youngest members.)

Jordana will bring this energy and a fresh perspective to the town clerk’s office. She will engage residents with respect and a client service mindset. Having run her own business, I have no doubt that Jordana will be an excellent manager of the department, motivating the whole team to serve the town with the same positivity and community-mindedness that she has brought to her service on the Legislative Council for the last four years.

Please join me in supporting Jordana Bloom for town clerk on November 2.

These thoughts are my own and not that of the Legislative Council, of which I am a member.

Sincerely,

Alison Plante
