Vote for Migliore

To all voters who live in Grafton County District 9 (Alexandria, Ashland, Bridgewater, Bristol and Grafton):

As a moderate Democrat who actively campaigned for Hillary Clinton last November, here’s why you should vote for Vincent Paul Migliore on Sept. 5:

Vincent Migliore has consistently listened to his constituents in Bridgewater as he represents the town on the Newfound Area School Board. While I may disagree with many of his policy positions, he seems to be the only candidate who will speak for the voters of your district. Being the student representative to the school board this past school year, I was fortunate to see first-hand the issues and concerns that the district faces.

Migliore will be an independent representative who will hear the concerns, issues and ideas facing District 9. In the last school board meeting, he listened to lunch workers who were concerned about their benefits and pay under a potential deal with a new food provider. He wanted to make sure the new deal was contingent upon the lunch workers carrying over their sick time into the new contract. Migliore was very firm and up-front about this issue.

Mr. Migliore, I hope when you get elected that you stay engaged with your constituents and hear them out on important issues. You seem to do that already as a school board member, and I trust that you’ll do that as a legislative member.

Voters of Grafton County District 9, vote for Vincent Paul Migliore in the Sept. 5 special election.
