To the editor,
We are writing in support of Sharon Antia for state representative in the upcoming election on November 4. We have known Sharon for over 15 years. Sharon and Laurie worked side by side as co-members of the Lincoln School Committee for several years. For as long as we have known her and worked with her, we have seen her dedication to service, her unflagging optimism, her good nature, and her interest in understanding the views and needs of her fellow citizens.
Were you to follow Sharon during this election season, you would see someone who is not out to convince the electorate of the correctness of her views, but rather someone who has spent countless hours in the community, even going door to door, seeking to understand the views of her prospective constituents. Sharon believes that the role of an elected representative in a representative democracy is to advocate as her constituents—the citizens she represents—would wish her to. Sharon’s only political ambition is a desire to understand how she can best help and represent her fellow citizens, especially to give voice to those whose voices are too often ignored.
Sharon always faces a challenge with optimism, courage and a smile. We can think of no one better suited to represent the citizens of Waltham and Lincoln in the state legislature and urge every voter to carefully consider her background, dedication to public service and character before casting their ballot on November 4.
Sincerely,
Chris and Laurie Manos
