I am pleased to support Vineeta Kumar for the Lexington Select Board. Having worked alongside her several times, including on the Town Manager Search Screening Committee, I have witnessed firsthand her exceptional leadership abilities and unwavering commitment to our community.

Vineeta is the kind of leader who listens carefully, brings people together, and makes sure every voice is heard. As Chair of the Town Meeting Members Association (TMMA), she’s shown incredible patience and leadership, always focused on collaboration and finding solutions that work for everyone.

Lexington is facing a few big challenges, such as housing and the new Lexington High School (LHS) project, and I can’t think of anyone better than Vineeta to guide us through these crucial decisions. Vineeta’s strategic planning ability and focus on excellence will be invaluable. She has the vision, financial knowledge and determination to ensure these projects meet the needs for all our students, families and members of the town.

I admire Vineeta’s commitment to inclusion and diversity. She truly believes that everyone in our town’s opinion matters, and she encourages open dialogue and mutual respect. Her kindness and openness inspire trust and make her a leader who will bring people together to make meaningful progress.

I hope you will join me in supporting Vineeta for the Select Board. Her dedication to the town and thoughtful decision making will make her an invaluable asset for Lexington’s future.
