To the Editor:

I am writing to endorse John Kortze for the Board of Finance.

I have known John and his family for nearly seven years, and I can honestly say that John has been one of the most committed individuals to Newtown that I know.

He always has the best interest of the town as his first priority, and he spends countless personal hours working for the betterment of Newtown.

John’s character and high moral standards make him an excellent choice for the board, and I strongly support his bid for reelection.

I encourage every Newtown resident to vote for John Kortze for Board of Finance.
