Letter to the Editor: Kizner for Select Board

by | Apr 28, 2025 | Letter to Editor

I am writing to express my strong support for Matthew Kizner in his candidacy for Hopkinton’s Select Board.

For the past four years, I have had the privilege of serving alongside Matt on our town’s Capital Improvement Committee. Throughout this time, I have witnessed firsthand his deep commitment to our community and his thoughtful approach to town governance. Matt understands the importance of careful planning, fiscal responsibility and strategic investment to maintain and enhance the quality of life in Hopkinton.

In our work together, Matt has consistently demonstrated the ability to collaborate effectively with town departments, committees and citizens. His intellect, work ethic and focus on both the immediate and long-term needs of the town have been instrumental in guiding the committee’s recommendations. He listens carefully, analyzes thoroughly and leads with a steady hand and clear vision.

I am confident Matt will bring the same thoughtful leadership, collaborative spirit and strong sense of stewardship to the Select Board as he has to the Capital Improvement Committee, and I respectfully encourage my fellow residents to join me in supporting him for the Select Board.

— Mark Logan, Hopkinton
