My Turn: Thanks to Town Clerk Valerie Fox

November 11, 2020

By Joan Kimball, Barbara Slayter, and Stephen Binder

We of the Lincoln Democratic and Republican Town Committees want to thank Town Clerk Valerie Fox for all her work to make the elections run smoothly this year. These two fall elections were particularly challenging with Covid-19.

Valerie and her staff put a great deal of thought into planning for voting by mail, the positioning of the drop box, and enabling us to vote safely, whether it be early, or by mail, or on the election days. We appreciate her notifications to all of us voters about timing and alternative ways to vote.

Kimball and Slayter are co-chairs of the Lincoln Democratic Town Committee, Binder is writing on behalf of the Lincoln Republican Town Committee.

    Valerie and her staff created a safe, secure and easy-to-navigate voting process. I considered myself fortunate to vote with the knowledge that all was in good hands. Thank you all.

    Yes, kudos to Valerie. And not just for her management of the voting process, but also for everything else she does as Town Clerk. Thank you, Valerie!

    Early voting was so easy and efficient – the only thing we missed was seeing Val and all the great volunteer workers in person this year. Thanks for all you do.
