I write in support of Peter Mimmo for one of the open Hopkinton Select Board positions.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Peter and his family for many years. I believe Peter will bring great knowledge and experience as well as a fresh perspective to this role.

Peter is a licensed attorney who has dedicated his professional career to public service in Massachusetts. He has also served in many volunteer capacities in our commonwealth, including being elected to our Hopkinton Board of Assessors.

Peter is very well versed on the many issues of concern in our town.

Taking on a position on the Select Board at this time in particular will be challenging. I have no doubt that Peter has the thoughtful demeanor, knowledge, patience and drive to address these tough issues. Peter will listen to all constituents and stakeholders to make well-informed decisions to benefit our community.

Please join me in voting for Peter on May 20.

— Anne Burtenshaw, Hopkinton
