Once again we have an opportunity to vote for our local leaders. Westbrook is a fine place to live and work, but this doesn’t happen without constant effort and attention from those who deal with a wide variety of issues throughout the year.

We in Ward 1 are well-represented by Brendan Rielly, who has served as city council president for the past two years. He has consistently pushed for initiatives that will help Westbrook be the best it can be, economically, educationally, and environmentally.

We hope Ward 1 voters will join us in returning Brendan Rielly to office on Nov. 6.

Suzanne and Robert Barton
