To the Editor:

I am writing about Rich Ellis, who is running for re-election to the Brunswick School Board. I hope the residents of District 1 will give serious consideration for Rich on Tuesday, Nov. 5, between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. at Brunswick Junior High School.

During the five years I was a member of the board, I had the opportunity to serve alongside 15 different members. Rich stood out as incredibly dedicated and hard working. He utilized his business acumen to fully probe concerns about budgets, facilities and student achievement. , Rich always advocated for decisions he thought best for students, families, teachers and families as a whole.

Rich and I have not always agreed, but I have always respected the time and effort he has put in. I can assure his constituents he takes his duties very seriously.
