Letter to the Editor: Kramer for Governor’s Council

by | Sep 1, 2024 | Letter to Editor

Most of you know Muriel Kramer, a person whose service to the community is remarkable. As someone who has seen Muriel in action for the past several decades, I know her to be conscientious, tenacious and not the least bit hesitant to stand by her convictions. She is fair-minded and willing to listen. In addition to serving several terms each on the Planning Board and Select Board (most recently as chair), Muriel has also been on the Board of Appeals and many other volunteer positions. Currently, Muriel is running for a seat on the Governor’s Council in Massachusetts, and I urge all of you to support her candidacy in the upcoming Democratic primary on Tuesday, Sept. 3.

An Air Force veteran, Muriel — along with her husband, Randy — has raised six terrific adult children, all of whom model their mother’s commitment to service. Please join me in voting for Muriel Kramer on Tuesday!

— Anne Mattina, Hopkinton
