Support for Mark Vincent for ASD Moderator
To the editor:
I am writing to express my support for Mark Vincent for ASD Moderator, and to ask for you all to support him as well. I have known Mark for a number of years now and can say without hesitation that he is the ideal candidate for this position. Having served on and chaired the ASD Ways & Means committee for 8 years, Mark knows first-hand what is needed to provide the best outcome for our school districts and the community. He has an exceptional ability to remain unbiased and collaborate with individuals of different perspectives, stay level-headed under pressure, and resolve disputes before they escalate. On March 14th, please cast your vote for the candidate who has full appreciation for what is needed from our ASD Ways & Means Committee and will serve the interests of both student and taxpayer with the highest degree of integrity and neutrality. I believe that candidate to be Mark Vincent, and I believe you should as well.

To the editor:
We, your friends and neighbors, are concerned that the Amherst Planning Board has approved warrant articles for this year that could have unanticipated consequences that will damage Amherst. We see an urgent need for new voices and ideas.
Jason Sorens's role as lead investigator on the NH Zoning Atlas, along with years working with housing and zoning issues around the state, has given him extensive knowledge of land use ordinances and best practices in community development. We especially appreciate his background in conservation and land trusts.
Aware of his background with the Free State Project, we’ve found him to be moderate and independent, voting for candidates across the political spectrum. Jason is adept at spotting problems in proposals and will help bring everyone to a better, more sensible approach. His positions are derived from the law, facts, reason, and relevant experience -- precisely what Amherst needs!
Do what we did: evaluate Jason's candidacy on his qualifications for Planning Board. Visit his website. Speak with him. Ask questions. We’re confident Jason Sorens is what Amherst needs to strike the right balance and move forward!
Signed,
