<p><strong>To the editor:</strong></p>
<p>I am a small business owner, president of the Trafalgar Planning Commission and a member of the Board of Zoning Appeals. John Young is our legal counsel and I have worked closely with him in town matters. I will be voting to re-elect John as state representative for District 47.</p>
<p>John has served our community well in both his professional and elected capacity. His expertise in assisting the town in planning and zoning issues directly transfers to his ability to be an effective legislator. He is gracious and always has time to listen to problems. Most importantly, John is informed and can give direction to help resolve most issues. It is refreshing that he embraces the values of the people where he was born and raised and uses that common sense at the statehouse.</p>
<p>Re-elect John Young for state representative.</p>
