I’m writing to express my strong support for my brother Jeff Doyle’s candidacy for the Hopkinton Select Board.

Our family’s roots in Hopkinton run deep — going back to our great-grandfather — and this town has always been more than just a place to live. It’s where we’ve grown up, built friendships and returned to as adults to raise our own young families. We feel lucky to call this place home, and we’re invested in keeping it strong — for today and for the next generation.

What stands out about my brother is how seriously he takes this opportunity. He has the ability to get to the heart of complicated issues quickly, understand multiple perspectives and form a clear, well-reasoned view. He brings a thoughtful, fair-minded approach and will do what’s best for the long term.

More than anything, he loves this town. He wants it to thrive for everyone – whether you’ve lived here for generations or just moved to town. His heart is in making sure this remains a place where everyone feels proud to live. I hope you’ll consider supporting his candidacy.

— Brian Doyle, Hopkinton
