To the editor: Reed understands needs of her district

There is an important primary election coming up on Aug. 9. That day, voters in Chester, Andover, North Springfield and Baltimore will have the opportunity to choose a new representative in Montpelier.

We strongly recommend voting in the Democratic primary for Melody Reed. Melody brings a fresh face to the political process. A Vermonter with generations of Vermonters in her background, she uniquely understands what the people in our district need.

As a mother and grandmother, she knows what it takes for families to thrive in these difficult economic times. Improvement in our health care system in Vermont is one of her prime goals. Melody will work hard to correct deficiencies in this area.

We have worked with Melody on several projects, and we know she is a highly capable person who will bring her abundant energy and optimistic vision to help solve Vermont’s pressing issues. Above all, she is a good listener and will be an effective voice for us in our state government. We know she is the right person for the job! We urge you to vote for Melody Reed on
Aug. 9
