I’m casting three important votes (by mail!), and I encourage you to do so as well.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Juli Brazile<\/strong><\/a> is the best choice for Town Clerk.\u00c2\u00a0 Juli is a leader, a manager, an organizer, a doer, and, most importantly, a public servant.\u00c2\u00a0 As chair of Envision Arlington (formerly Vision 2020) she mobilized dozens of volunteers.\u00c2\u00a0 She will tackle the big issues – like making elections more accessible to everyone – to the small ones – like making it possible to buy your dog license online. She will transform the clerk’s office so that it serves the town’s residents where they are – be it in person, on the phone, or online. Len Diggins<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>will make an excellent member of the Select Board. I’ve gotten to know Len through his work for ACMI and our regular discussions about Select Board issues. His initiative to grow Town Meeting precinct meetings has increased education and involvement, and it’s an example of the priorities and leadership that he will bring to the Select Board.\u00c2\u00a0 His experience in regional transportation oversight will also be valuable as the town grapples with our growing population, both in Arlington and in the region. Liz Exton<\/strong><\/a> is my choice for School Committee.\u00c2\u00a0 She brings important experience to the group, and perspective and knowledge that the committee will find invaluable.\u00c2\u00a0 First, she’s a parent of students in the Arlington system.\u00c2\u00a0 Second, she is a teacher in another school system. Her experience as a Town Meeting Member and override campaign activist are also important – she knows both what is possible, and what the limits are.\u00c2\u00a0
