Yarmouth Town Council candidates for whom I have voted had many different types of jobs or careers. I can’t remember being concerned about a candidate’s employment. This year I am very concerned.

In addition, she has the experience to […]

As a former town councilor, I respect their integrity, experience, and leadership skills – talents that are vital to a well-functioning governing body.
