I have had the pleasure of working with Elizabeth on the MCI Concord (prison) Advisory Board for the past year. She is analytical, practical, action-oriented, and willing to listen to all sides before taking a position on an issue. As Chair of the Legal & Government Affairs Subcommittee, Elizabeth is proactive in ensuring that Concord’s needs are heard and met by all municipal, state, and federal officials/agencies involved with this exciting redevelopment opportunity.

She is passionate about the future of Concord, having served on numerous boards in the community and investing in the community with her local businesses. Concord’s taxes have risen dramatically over the past five years with no end in sight, which will be a growing burden on current residents and those hoping to afford to live in Concord. Elizabeth will bring fiscal constraint and transparency to Concord through her position on the Select Board while offering innovative solutions to improve the commercial tax base by reaching out and welcoming advanced tech, biotech, healthcare, and other institutions.

Her dedication, compassion for Concord and its residents, and commitment to its future make her an excellent candidate for the Select Board. I wholeheartedly endorse Elizabeth for this role.
