Thanks to voters of Hartford
This is a letter of thanks to all those who supported my reelection campaign to the Hartford Selectboard. Many of you wrote letters to the
Valley News Forum, made social media posts, posted signs and held conversations with neighbors. Hearing such support from so many residents, as well as so many community members who run nonprofits in Hartford, made all the difference and was the key to success. Your vote is your voice and you let it be heard loud and clear.
I am honored to have received such wide support and look forward to continuing to serve the town for three more years. I must also give a shout of thanks to our town clerk, Lisa O’Neil, and the entire election team for all the work they did (for months) to make this election run so smoothly during a pandemic.

In Lebanon, vote inclusion, innovation and involvement
I encourage everyone reading this letter to vote for my mother, Karen Liot Hill, for Lebanon city councilor at-large, and Lilian Maughan, Stephen Kantor, and Lisa Vallejo Sorensen for School Board.
I have lived in Lebanon for almost 20 years, graduated from Lebanon High School in 2017 and am currently finishing my senior year at Dartmouth College. I serve as an adviser to the Lebanon Students of Color Collective. My years in the Lebanon School District were marked by frequent changes I attended the School Street, Hanover Street and Seminary Hill schools, Lebanon Junior High, Lebanon Middle School and Lebanon High School. I served on Student Council for my four years at LHS, served two years as student representative to the School Board, and was moderator (similar to president) of the Student Council my senior year.

Two voices for all Lebanon residents
A community is strongest when all residents are empowered to advocate for their needs within local government. To achieve this, elected officials must be willing to connect with community members who are in need, understand and empathize with them, and use their position of power to be their champion in government. This is not easy work. It requires time, effort, care and compassion.
This is why I strongly support Devin Wilkie (Ward 2) and Sylvia Puglisi (at-large) for Lebanon City Council on March 9. Both these candidates have demonstrated that they will put in the work to be the people’s advocate in Lebanon city government.
