I am writing to formally express my strong endorsement for Michael Flynn, Terri Flynn and Christopher Rowe in the upcoming election for the Middletown Town Council. I have lived and worked on Aquidneck Island for over 50 years and care deeply about the direction of our town. I am confident these candidates are the leaders needed to protect Middletown.
While working closely with each of these candidates for the last two years making residents’ voices heard about the “Middletown Center” project, I witnessed firsthand their integrity, practical approach to solving issues, teamwork, and unmatched dedication to our community.
After years of addressing the “Middletown Center” mishaps, these candidates are certainly qualified to tackle the core issues facing our community, and will bring the same level of dedication, integrity, and work ethic as elected councilors. They understand that local government works best when it focuses on listening to, and delivering results for, we, the people.
These candidates have a genuine willingness to listen to varying perspectives and bring people together to solve problems. Middletown needs a calm, collaborative, and pragmatic voice representing residents on the Council.
Please join me in supporting Michael Flynn, Terri Flynn and Christopher Rowe on Election Day. A vote for them is a vote for a more unified resident-driven affordable community that is once again, the best place to live.
