Letter
Citizens of Barnstead, NH;
Please join me in supporting David Brown
in his quest to represent the citizens of Barnstead by serving on the
Barnstead Board of Selectmen and School Board. I know Mr. Brown to
be a hardworking and earnest man. David has proved a reliable
public servant already as a long standing member of the Barnstead Zoning
Board. I recently had the honor of working with David on a joint
committee of the planning and zoning boards. Through this process, I was
inspired by his ability to put personal agendas aside and approach the
issues from the position of what makes the most sense for all the
citizens of Barnstead. He is a thoughtful and intentional in the
positions he takes and knows the value of cooperation and compromise as
well. Like most of us, David Brown chose Barnstead in which to
build a home, raise a family, and serve his community. I am confident
that he will offer leadership that will reflect these choices and help
make our community the best that it can be.
Sincerely,
Amy Jennings
