I ask the voters in Granby to support Kelly Rome in the upcoming election as she seeks a seat on the Board of Selectmen. A Granby native who knows and understands the town well, she has both solid work experience and a proven track record on the Board of Finance that will serve Granby well in the capacity as a selectman.
Sarah Thrall quietly and unassumingly gives back to support Granby, Quick-witted and smart, Sarah is the real deal. She is an active contributor with a positive attitude and strong work ethic.
I will be voting for James Tsaptsinos for the Board of Finance. I have known James and his family for several years. He has a strong sense of community and a solid background in finance.
I would like to put in word for the candidacy of Al Wilke for reelection to the Board of Finance.
I fully support Al and James for the Board of Finance. As a member of the Board of Selectmen, I have had the opportunity to see both in action during the intense town budget process.
The Friends of the Granby Public Library held its 38th Used Book Sale in September after a two year wait due to COVID restrictions last year. It was another successful sale and a welcome return of our patrons who look forward to this annual event.
I was thrilled to learn the U.S. Department of Agriculture is giving $10 million over five years to Tufts University to establish a National Institute for Cellular Agriculture. The institute will conduct open-access research into cultivated meat.
We have known Jenny Emery and her husband “Coach” Dave for many years and have worked with both of them on some of the civic projects with which they have been involved. They share the same passion for Granby and have donated thousands of hours to it.
I am a registered unaffiliated voter. Always have been; always will be. I like to vote for the people I think are best suited for the job, no matter their party affiliation.
I support Mark Fiorentino to be Granby’s next First Selectman. Since Mark moved to Granby in 2009, he has been active in many areas that have greatly strengthened our community.
