This year’s Select Board election has four excellent candidates for Hopkinton residents to choose from. All with talents, experiences and energy our town will benefit from. Peter Mimmo stands out as a candidate with the legal and social negotiating skills our town needs in these divisive times. He brings experience, hope and strength in his spirited message of optimism. I strongly endorse Peter Mimmo‘s candidacy and know this town will benefit greatly from his professional background and dedicated heart to make Hopkinton live up to its full potential.

— Donald Sutherland, Hopkinton
