To the editor:
I am running for reelection and I need your vote.
I am a 30-year Army veteran and had four combat deployments. When I was going to retire, I wanted to raise my children in the best town and environment, and I chose Lynnfield.
My children are Lynnfield school system successes, and I will be indebted for life for that.
When I retired, I made a commitment, whatever town I retired to, I would give back to that town in any way possible, as much as possible, because of the support I received from the country when I was deployed. This is what veterans do, and always will. I believe I have done that and want to continue to do more. Since being a Lynnfield resident since 2012, I have given my time and commitment to the following.
- Chairman: Lynnfield Select Board
- Chairman: Lynnfield New Veterans Memorial Committee, construction of the memorial
- Chairman: Town of Lynnfield Strategic Planning Committee
- Board member: Lynnfield Youth Lacrosse
- Former assistant coach: Boys Youth Lacrosse
- Former coach: Girls Lynnfield Youth Soccer
- Board member: New Public Safety Building Committee
- Board member: Lynnfield Rail Trail
- Board member: New Lynnfield Cemetery Committee
- Committee member: Selection Committee of new High School principal
- Chairman: Lynnfield 250th Celebration
I want to continue to serve the citizens of this remarkable town as your Select Board member.
The Select Board I serve on now has always had the best interest of the town, and has always provided for its needs. We work with every board and committee for the best solution.
I believe I have the experience, knowledge, and commitment you are looking for as your selectman.
I need your vote on April 9 at the Town Election.
Thank you,
Joe Connell
