We are supporting Craig Rivest for selectman of Hampden. Craig is a forward thinking businessman who understands the needs of the changing demographics of Hampden. He wants to keep the uniqueness of Hampden while preparing it to meet the needs of the future. Craig lives in a restored colonial home and appreciates the history of Hampden. He has young children and is concerned about meeting the needs of the children in town. He is passionate about maintaining and improving our hiking trail system in town.
We trust Craig to manage our town finances properly and to listen to expert advice. We are disappointed with the cost of the frivolous lawsuit pursued by Mrs. [Mary Ellen] Glover against the Hampden Wilbraham Regional School District (HWRSD), given that she was the person who signed the original agreements. First she wanted it, now she doesn’t. Please make up your mind. Mrs. Glover’s vacillations are costing us and the town a lot of money!
Craig is a fiscal conservative who will pursue creative revenue streams to improve the infrastructure of Hampden while maintaining its historical character.
We encourage you to vote for Craig Rivest and protect the future of Hampden.
Vote Craig Rivest!
David and Charo Hayward
