I encourage Brattleboro residents to vote for Oscar Heller for the contested three-year Selectboard seat.

I had the pleasure of working with Oscar on the Representative Town Meeting Finance Committee where he paid close attention to financial details and wrote clear, concise reports for our citizens. He also served on the Energy Committee and has been an elected Town Meeting Representative for six years.

Oscar has done his research and is fully informed about the many issues facing Brattleboro including the proposed FY26 budget, housing, economic development, crime, and policing. I appreciate his thoughtful considerations of these complex issues.

Oscar and his local partners own two small Brattleboro businesses (web design and digital marketing). He started visiting the area in 2002 as a summer camper and moved to Brattleboro 11 years ago, first as a renter and next as a landlord.

In addition to his expertise and commitment, I wish to support new faces on our Selectboard.
