For ‘public service above self-interest,’ support Paul Boehm for Select Board

Paul Boehm is the kind of person you want in a position of municipal leadership. He has served on committees like the Recreation Commission and the Community Preservation Committee (CPC), where he actively supported investments in affordable housing, among others, and held a key leadership role on the 2229 Main Street Oversight Committee to help Acton chart a path of sustainable and fiscally responsible development. 

His background in environmental science means he can expertly analyze data, apply an iterative, “360 degree” approach, without bias. He is willing to listen and learn new things. He is willing to compromise at choice moments to get to the best possible outcome for all parties. 

Paul takes a strategic, long view on policy, informed by his professional background and his multigenerational stake in Acton. When you join me in voting for Paul for Select Board, your vote will be for public service above self-interest, and a vote for Acton.
