I am writing in support of Walter Perry for Paris selectman.

Walter has established a reputation as a well-respected teacher, coach, Paris resident, and member of the greater Oxford Hills community. In these times of increasing division and friction, the town of Paris needs someone who can navigate the task of uniting our fractured community through a spirit of cooperation, civility, integrity, and accountability on issues that matter to Paris residents.

Walter’s energy, personality, passion for teaching kids, and his ability to relate to people make him the right candidate for our select board. Walter will bring thoughts and ideas that will help move our town forward in a way that brings a sense of improvement, opportunity, and pride to Paris residents.

I believe Walter is an excellent choice for selectman, and I urge my Paris friends and neighbors to join me in supporting him in June.

Kate Follette, Paris
