For me, what’s important in this race for Planning Board is character and temperament. Tom Shiple has the character and temperament to lead. 

Tom is careful, thoughtful and methodical. He’s willing to listen to all views and consider other perspectives seriously. He does his homework and there’s a lot of it in the Planning and Zoning field. He can analyze large quantities of information and hone in on what’s important.

In this position, you want someone who can collaborate to find solutions and at the end of the day, come forward with balanced, well-thought-out outcomes for the town.

And lastly, you want someone with vision. Tom truly cares about the future of Lexington. I trust his ideas and his judgement, and I can’t imagine a better candidate for Planning Board.
