Letter to the editor: Vote for Anastasia Fischer for Rockport Select Board

Mon, 05/22/2017 - 8:45pm

I am pleased to learn that Anastasia Fischer has submitted papers to run for one of Rockport’s Select Board three-year seats. Anastasia will bring a wealth of expertise and experience as Rockport moves forward to address many challenges and opportunities.

She will bring a fresh perspective and abilities that I believe will serve our town well. She has lived in our area for 17 years and has served on many state and local boards and committees (watch for her Facebook page). She is a single Mom with a son who has gone through our local school system and is now attending Camden Hills Regional High School. She is a successful small business owner with national and international clients. She attended Bowdoin College.

Most of all, in her professional and volunteer work, Anastasia is experienced in uniting diverse stakeholders, managing collaborations and reaching goals. She keeps her focus on solutions. She will bring a fresh and unbiased perspective to our town governance. I encourage you to meet her, talk with her, give her your thoughts, and vote for her on June 13. I will.
