To the editor: Reed is best candidate

Having worked with many state representatives over the years, I would describe their most important characteristic is the ability to listen.  You cannot represent your constituents if you don’t know what their concerns are or how the issues will impact their lives.  Your have to listen to be a good representative.

It is this quality that makes Melody Reed the best candidate to represent us in the Vermont House of Representatives.  She will be open to input and willing to entertain options and alternatives to make sure that she is an effective voice for us in Montpelier.

Melody is an individual who truly lives her values ( environmentally, economically and socially). She rolls up her sleeves to make things happen on numerous programs and initiatives in our communities.

If our area of Vermont is going to break out of the doldrums of decline and chart a new path for shared prosperity, we need a state representative with the vision, drive and energy to bring State resources to bear in benefiting our communities.

Melody Reed is the best candidate to face the challenges before us.
