I am writing to support Jeff Doyle and Shahidul Mannan for the Select Board. Both men are kind, approachable, and flexible thinkers. These two candidates will bring different strengths and perspectives to the board.

Jeff, who grew up in Hopkinton, knows the town well, having lived there all his life. Shahidul, our incumbent candidate, has been steadily involved in town government and community projects for many years. 

Being new to town government, Jeff brings fresh ideas and energy to the board. As an experienced town leader, Shahidul brings understanding and knowledge. He can hit the ground running with projects he has already worked on and knows how to get things done.

Together, they balance life and leadership experiences that evenly represent our community. Our town will be lucky to have such motivated, hard-working, and thoughtful community members representing us.
