To the Editor:

I am writing to endorse John Kortze for reelection to the Board of Finance on November 3. John’s “credentials” speak for themselves. He is experienced in all aspects of leadership in Newtown and has been so for many years now, from Legislative Council to Rock Ridge Country Club to the Board of Finance. I feel more compelled, however, to comment on John’s integrity.

I have known John and his lovely family for 13 years. In that time, I have been impressed by John’s high standards in all areas: work, intelligence, motivation and willingness to lead, unfaltering personal integrity, commitment to Newtown, and devotion to family and friends. I feel that it is an understatement to say that we can rely on John Kortze to represent us.

Sincerely,

Barbara Patrick
