To the Editor:

Having known Ben Spragg and Jan Andras for over 12 years, I have no hesitation in supporting them to serve on the Legislative Council.

Ben Spragg served as our finance director for 27 years. He elevated our bond rating on a consistent basis. He has served on state boards as well as locally with Newtown Savings Bank and Rock Ridge Country Club. We are fortunate to have someone with Ben’s qualifications and extensive background who is willing to serve as a volunteer in local government.

Jan Andras has been involved with town boards, commissions, and as a town employee for over 20 years. She has the experience and knowledge that will benefit the Legislative Council. She is not running with any special interest as a motive, but only for the benefit of the town as a whole.

With the changes that are going to happen in the upcoming election with all new leadership, it is important to have people with knowledge, experience, and integrity to serve on the Legislative Council. We are very lucky to have two such candidates in Ben Spragg and Jan Andras. Please make sure that your vote counts.

Sincerely,

Mary Kelley
