Bethel Residents Turned Out to Rally in Support of Democratic Candidates

This afternoon, I was honored to be amongst the Bethel voters that gathered in support of the Democratic candidates, including Matt Knickerbocker and Rich Straiton.  Following the rally, we hit the streets to spread the truth about their successes, the issues that the town faces, and the steps that are being implemented to keep Bethel moving forward.  The support was humbling and gratifying. I appreciate the time that you, my neighbors, took over the last few days and weeks, away from the football game and from cleaning up leaves, to speak with me about Bethel's bright future under the leadership of Matt Kickerbocker and Rich Straiton.

Overwhelmingly, voters recognize that Matt & Rich have worked tirelessly to increase economic development in Bethel, to preserve our vital resources and to ensure that Bethel thrives now and in the future.  Voters are reassured by Matt's & Rich's regular communications which keep them informed and up to date.  Voters are energized by the increase of activities and events in the historic downtown, such as the community market, which brings shoppers to town.  Voters confirmed the NewsTimes's finding that Matt Knickerbocker is the best choice to lead Bethel.

Thank you for your continued support, and for your support of Matt and Rich on Tuesday.
