Letter to the editor: Hooper has experience for board

I am writing to the Addison Independent to express my support for Andy Hooper as a member of the Middlebury selectboard. I discovered Andy’s eclectic demeanor soon after meeting him indirectly through my friendship with his son Zeke. My first interactions with Andy were at Tinker and Smithy in downtown Middlebury, where he could often be found spending time playing games with his family. However, Andy’s care now extends beyond his family as he campaigns for the betterment of the community. With previous experience on the Montpelier City council, Andy brings confidence, knowledge, and expertise to a town facing new problems with unclear solutions.
