Thank You For Your Signatures

Thank you to everyone who gave up part of a beautiful day to visit us at the Charlestown Mini Super on July 7th or 9th and signed 11 different nomination papers for the candidates the Charlestown Citizens Alliance is supporting in the November election.

Thank you especially to the Mini Super for generously allowing us to set up our nomination papers in front of the store!

We collected over 1,045 total signatures for the 11 candidates! We surpassed the requirement of a total of 550 (11X50) signatures for all our candidates to qualify for the November election ballot. Some signatures will get disqualified (usually for legibility), but each of our candidates got nearly 100 valid signatures in our 4 hours of gathering signatures.

Also thank you to everyone who called or wrote to say they wanted to sign, but couldn’t make it to the Mini Super. The candidates appreciate every offer to sign and would have been honored to have your names on their papers, but we got more than we needed and bringing more papers to town hall would just make extra and unneeded work for the members of the Board of Canvassers. Your offers mean just as much as an actual signature!

Your time this past week was well spent. This is an accomplished and qualified slate of candidates and we are honored to endorse them.

Town Council: Susan Cooper, Peter Gardner, Ann Owen, Joshua Vallee, and David Wilkinson

Planning Commission: Walter (Peter) Mahony, Carol Mossa, and Lisa St Godard

Chariho School Committee: Donna Chambers, Craig Louzon, and Linda Lyall

You’ll hear more about these candidates in the coming weeks, but for now, we just want to say Thank You!
