I am writing to encourage my fellow Addison County residents to vote for Ellen Whelan-Wuest for ACSD Board on Town Meeting Day. I have had the pleasure of serving with Ellen on the board of WomenSafe, where she is now co-chair. We are so lucky to have Ellen in our community! She is super smart, full of heart, and laser focused on making this a community where everyone can thrive.

I know Ellen will be an excellent collaborator on the school board. She is a great listener, a creative problem solver, and totally committed to the wellbeing of children and families in Addison County. Please join me in supporting Ellen Whelan-Wuest for ACSD Board when you vote on March 7.
