To the editor:

We are very fortunate, as Wellesley residents, to have Beth Sullivan Woods, who personifies genuine leadership, running for re-election to the Select Board. Beth has a rare combination of a truly independent voice, compassion for the community, and
sound decision making.

With the constantly changing political landscape at all levels of government, Beth has found a way, over the years, to keep a refreshing independence to her thinking and decision making. She comes to all matters with intellectual curiosity and open-
mindedness, thus allowing her to approach each situation with a true sense of impartiality.

As a lifetime resident of Wellesley, Beth consistently engages citizens, business owners, and members of the Wellesley community. Her strong ability to listen, and, in turn, understand the needs of her constituents prior to making tough decisions is a unique
skill that demonstrates her excellent emotional intelligence.

There is no question that Beth has the experience necessary to do this job. As a member of the Select Board since 2017, she has evaluated and advanced a multitude of important projects and issues. The overwhelming sentiment voiced by many citizens
is that Beth is always thoughtful, fair, and pragmatic when it comes to community concerns.

Please consider voting for Beth Sullivan Woods.

Sincerely,
Lynn and Doug Youngen
