Letter: Sheila Andrew Is A Great Candidate For Town Council
The following letter appeared in local newspapers and is shared with us here by the author Virginia Lee. Virginia Lee is the current President of the Charlestown Town Council.
I want to express my support for Sheila Andrew for Charlestown Town Council. Sheila’s career at the University of Connecticut has focused on keeping farms economically viable and sustainable. She has developed management practices and technologies that have helped dairy farmers weather the storms of fluctuating milk prices and is particularly happy to see that many of the farms she advised have continued with the younger generation. Her experience with the many ways that farming strengthens rural character and economy while contributing to a sense of community would be a big asset on our Town Council.
Sheila is also concerned and knowledgeable about water quality. Here too she would make an important contribution to the policy decisions of the Town Council of our town, where all homes and businesses rely on the continued safety of our ground water for drinking and the quality our fresh and salt water resources for recreation and tourism. We are fortunate to have Sheila running for office. She will listen to the concerns of all our citizens and will devote the time and has the necessary skills to make a great town councilor. I urge you to vote for her in the upcoming elections.
