Letter to the Editor: Ritterbusch a ‘fully invested citizen’

by | Jun 15, 2020 | Letter to Editor

We endorse Amy Ritterbusch for Select Board with the greatest of confidence.  Amy has a long history as an enthusiastic, selfless and equitable member of many town, school and civic organizations. Her experience with the Planning Board, Growth Study Committee, Historic District Commission and Design Review Board, as well as a dedicated parent and fully invested citizen has prepared her to be a meaningful and effective member of the Select Board.

We are friends and neighbors of Amy and benefit as such. She is tireless, fair, generous, well-prepared and kind. She excels at research and is always unbiased with information provided. Her approach to every issue and question is even, keen and considered.

It is a privilege to endorse Amy for Select Board. We believe emphatically that Amy’s position as a member of the Select Board would be a tremendous advantage to Hopkinton.

— Nicole Sullivan and Shane Leavy, Hopkinton
