What stands out to me is not just that she sees these challenges, but what she chooses to do about them. She spends her time working to understand these challenges and find practical ways forward - solutions that will help others - and the next generation - continue to call this place home.

Christine approaches that with care, recognizing that change should be thoughtful and not taken lightly. I have witnessed her unwavering dedication to place, the land and its inhabitants, for many years.

I am certain that Christine will bring that same balance and understanding to the Select Board.

-Tammi Truax, Eliot
