Letter to the Editor: Watson for constable

by | May 14, 2026 | Letter to Editor

I am writing to offer my enthusiastic support for Jason Watson for constable as a write-in candidate.

As a fellow member of our town’s Democratic Committee, I’ve seen firsthand Jason’s commitment to progressive ideals, and I’ve also seen him demonstrate a great ability to focus on details and work thoroughly on projects enhancing our outreach efforts.

Perhaps that’s an outgrowth of his professional experience as a software engineer which I’m sure will serve him — and our community — well as our next town constable.

Please join me and cast your vote for Jason Watson.

— Peter Mimmo, Hopkinton
