A Proven Track Record


I am writing to endorse the incumbent candidate, Joan Angelini, for town clerk. One of the most important responsibilities of the town clerk is to oversee elections.

I was so impressed with how Joan navigated the intense 2020 election season during which residents voted in primary and general elections, including a presidential election, all during a pandemic. Joan managed an unprecedented number of absentee ballots and oversaw a complicated electoral process competently, thanks in large part to her strong working relationship with other election officials and her deep connection to the Westbrook community. Joan’s 16 years of experience as town clerk, her professionalism, and her institutional knowledge make her uniquely qualified to handle this important responsibility that is fundamental to our democracy.

The town clerk position should be entrusted to someone with a proven track record and the necessary qualifications. In Westbrook, Joan Angelini is the clear choice for my vote, and I encourage others to vote for Joan, too.
