When you make up your mind who you’re voting for in the November county or state elections, please send a few sentences about what you like most about the candidate you’ve picked. We’d like to run those short bits in the Beacon so we can all see what’s persuading our friends and neighbors one way or the other.

Please – nothing negative about the other candidates, parties, policies, etc! There’s enough of that going around already. Let’s hear what’s attracting you to the candidate you’ve picked.

Send a few sentences to Elections@nullAndoverBeacon.com or to PO Box 149, Andover 03216. Those received by September 15 will be in the October issue; those received by October 15 will be in the November issue.
