I am writing to endorse Chris Fiore for North Haven Village trustee.
As a 30-year full-time resident of North Haven, I feel strongly that steadfast and thoughtful leadership will be the key to preserving the North Haven that we cherish. Chris’s vision is one of respect for our fragile environment and mindful conservation of its resources, while balancing growth and inevitable change as we move forward into the future.
Having known Chris for many years, I can personally attest to the fact that he will listen and respond to the concerns of all North Haven residents. Chris is energetic and astute; he will get the job done well without delay.
As we move forward during these challenging and complex times, Chris Fiore is the perfect choice for a position on the North Haven Village Board. I heartily support his candidacy, and I urge my North Haven neighbors to vote for Chris Fiore for North Haven Village trustee on June 15.
