I write in wholehearted support of Dawn Ronan for School Committee. She has demonstrated, time and time again, her expertise in quietly navigating the slings and arrows from those with differing opinions to find points of commonality, and then to expertly build consensus.

Now, more than ever, we need people with that unusual talent in this community.
