To The Editor:

It is my pleasure to endorse Ed Read for state representative of Washington County. I have known Ed for 25 years and have worked with and for him for most of those years both at Sugarbush and the Mad River Garden Center. Ed is someone who is committed to whatever task he has and will listen to people in a way that you know you’ve been heard. His experience as a select board member for the past 16 years adds to his qualifications. Ed is a candidate who is not afraid to debate an issue and will look at all sides of an issue before making a decision. He will make Vermont a better place to live in. He is an honest and hard-working person with impeccable integrity. I hope you will join me in voting for Ed Read on November 6.
