Dear Editor:

Spring is here and that means it is local election time. This year it is nice to see the younger generation showing interest in town management. There are two candidates running for one of the open positions on the Boothbay Harbor Board of Selectmen. I’m sure both are capable but I can only speak to the hard work and civic involvement of Alyssa Allen over the years. Her hard work with Boothbay Lights, Boothbay Harbor Region Chamber of Commerce, and local fundraising activities gives her the perspective needed in the  role of selectman. Alyssa Allen has my vote on May 7.
