Letter to the Editor: McSweeney for Select Board

by | Apr 29, 2024 | Letter to Editor

I write in support of Kyla McSweeney for one of the open Hopkinton Select Board positions.

I have known Kyla and her family for over a decade. Her decision to run for this position is founded on her concern for the challenges being faced in our community.

Kyla has a background of being an avid volunteer in town, including being an elected member of the Cemetery Commission.

In the professional realm, Kyla has experience serving as a public interest attorney, as well as managing contracts and grants. This provides a solid knowledge of monetary and regulatory matters. All of these skills will positively benefit our community.

Kyla is well versed on the hot-topic issues in our town and will listen to all constituents and stakeholders to make informed decisions. I feel confident she will be an excellent addition to the Select Board.

Please join me in voting for Kyla on May 20.

— Anne Burtenshaw, Hopkinton
