Letter: Kehoe deserves re-election as selectman

To the editor:

I am writing in support of Tom Kehoe for Manchester Board of Selectmen.

Tom's support letters speak to his integrity, dedication, objectivity and willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job done. He has been an inspirational volunteer in our community for many years and in many capacities.

The true nature of municipal government is procedural, tactical and follows a fact-based process. Having the character, good judgment, and the ability to listen and take action are the cornerstones for delivering results.

Tom Kehoe is accessible to all town residents and a good listener who is fair, consistent, and accountable. Over the years I have had many experiences working with Tom, collaborating on the regional school budget, and more recently with the formation of the Animal Control Board. Tom was instrumental in setting forward a process to find common ground, rather than divisions.

Tom knows how to get the job done and recognizes that you may not please all the people all the time. He understands how to develop and stick with a process to deliver results.

Please support Tom Kehoe for selectman when you vote on May 15.
