Count on Dean Banfield to make sound decisions

Dean will not waste time or opportunity getting up to speed and will not make avoidable missteps.

Dean Banfield knows what needs to be done.

In the next few years, Acton will make decisions that will impact our lives and those that follow us in our beloved community. As voters we must decide who is best positioned to avoid costly mistakes and make sound decisions that will stand the test of time. The best course for Acton is rarely obvious. There are unintended consequences of missteps. Dean’s depth of knowledge and his participation in many facets of life in Acton position him to make the best decisions for Acton’s future.

I met Dean when I joined the Finance Committee. He asked the best questions and led thoughtful deliberations among his peers on the committee. Since that time Dean has constantly contributed to our community in new ways, helping to lead us into the future. Dean’s questions go beyond the obvious. Dean really listens to the replies. Neither rash nor overly deliberative, Dean will not waste time or opportunity getting up to speed and will not make avoidable missteps and that’s why Dean Banfield has my support this year.
