Klaskin - Madison

Seth
Klaskin
for first selectman
Dear Friend,
I am running for First
Selectman because I believe
Madison is ready for a proven,
proactive leader who will
shape Madison’s future by
building consensus, preserving
our character and honoring the
values we all share.
I ask for your vote because it is time to stop
talking around our issues and take action. It
is time to improve senior tax relief. It is time
to resolve Academy School. It is time to finish
the work on the Griswold property and Strong
Field. And it is time for Madison to look forward—not backward—and reclaim our role as a
leader on the shoreline.
I would enjoy the opportunity to hear your
thoughts on how we can ensure Madison is a
vibrant, inclusive community. Please feel free
to contact me.
Sincerely,
Seth Klaskin
