We need a person of Banfield’s ‘caliber and character’

Independent local news for Acton, Massachusetts
I believe Dean has the right experience, skills, and temperament to be an outstanding Select Board member.
At a time when many complex decisions are facing the town, we need someone who can hit the ground running.
I have had the privilege of serving alongside Sam and have seen the depth of his commitment to service, stewardship, and community.
Sam doesn’t just hear people — he responds (sometimes with a fresh loaf of bread), acts with purpose, and follows through.
We have some serious challenges to face, and I believe Dean will be an asset to the town as we work our way through them.
Dean has been active in many town initiatives, and his experience on the Finance Committee will be especially valuable.
He wants the best for our town, but he knows that we must sometimes say “no,” or “not yet,” in ways that are fair and transparent.
I believe his years on the Finance Committee provide the strongest foundation anyone could bring to the Select Board.
Acton needs leaders who are thinking ahead and committed to careful planning that protects what we value most about living here.
The only question that matters is whether the changes a candidate embraces will make the town better.
We can say without reservation that Sam is a person of the highest integrity, honor, and personal character.
