To the editor:

"Among the decisions we face in the upcoming election is the composition of Westport’s Board of Health.  I believe that now, more than ever, we need a health care professional on our Board of Health.  Not simply to help manage Westport’s response to covid-19, but also to contribute a health care perspective when Westport addresses other important matters.  

I support Donna Amaral, RN, for the open position on the Board of Health.  She has 40-plus years experience and has proven herself able to deal effectively with difficult issues and work collaboratively to find consensus solutions.

I encourage you to take the opportunity to vote by mail, and use your vote to help put Donna Amaral on the Board of Health. "
