As I consider who to vote for in the upcoming Groton Town Council election, one candidate, Portia Bordelon, stands out. She is intelligent, independent, a critical thinker and a strong voice for those in need. She works tirelessly on behalf of her constituents, the local community and environment. I served with Councilor Bordelon on the RTM and learned that she does her homework, asks insightful questions and thinks thoughtfully about Groton’s future. For Groton School Board, I’ll cast my vote for Ian Thomas. Ian is passionate about Groton schools and is focused on delivering high quality, cost-effective educational opportunities for all students. I have also served with Rep. Thomas on the RTM where I have seen his thoughtful approach to governance, his careful preparation for meetings and research of issues that come before the body. He will be a positive addition to Groton’s School Board. Please educate yourself about the candidates and their positions, how they have voted on the important issues that affect us all and join me in voting for Portia Bordelon and Ian Thomas. We need a good team to lead Groton into a prosperous and sustainable future.
