I am writing in support of John Coutinho for Select Board, and to ask for your support as well.

In the 20-plus years I’ve been in Hopkinton, I’ve seen firsthand John’s commitment to the town, marveling at how he attended every major event. He has served on numerous boards and committees and has deep insight into the challenges and opportunities we face. We need his voice and insight.

John served on the Select Board before and knows what we need to grow, prosper and be safe. He is committed to our police and fire heroes who are on the front lines every day. He will defend, not defund them.]

I urge you to support one of Hopkinton’s greatest assets.  Let’s get him back where he can do the most good for our community.

— Bob Levenson, Hopkinton
