Dear Editor:

I am writing to encourage my fellow Alna residents to vote for Linda Kristan for second selectperson. Linda is respectful, kind and approachable, and she has the experience needed to serve the town well.

Linda has worked in a variety of positions in her long career, including in retail, in the insurance industry and in banking. Most impressive however is Linda’s 25 years of experience in school systems and working with families who have kids with special needs. Every child and family is different, and Linda was able to listen to each of them and help figure out what would work best for them. This ability to listen and problem solve was essential in her career working with families, and is also exactly what is needed for selectperson.

I think Linda will bring fresh ideas and a willingness to listen to all of Alna’s residents in her role as a selectperson, along with the problem solving mentality needed to tackle any challenge. I hope you will support Linda Kristan when we vote on March 27.

Maria Jenness
