In Support of Mark Walter
Edward Odell (D), Chairman of the Economic Development Commission, endorses Republican candidate, Mark Walter, for East Haddam First Selectman.
Over the last year I have had to good fortune to work closely with Mark in my capacity as the new Chairman of the Economic Development Commission. I find Mark to be personable, a skilled manager and above all a seemingly tireless worker. I have witnessed Mark at many an evening board meeting, this despite an already heavy schedule.
Mark has also proved himself a deft listener, something I believe is critical for someone in his position. When discussing issues or plans he is as keen to take input from others, rather than rely on a top-down, heavy-handed management style. Mark also does not hesitate to take definitive action when it is required. In particular I feel Mark did an excellent job (as did all our Town and Emergency Management Officials) in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene.
For these reasons, despite my party affiliation, I am endorsing Mark Walter for re-election for First Selectman of East Haddam.
