I am writing in support of a colleague, Lynn Hidek, who is seeking re-election to the Board of Police Commissioners. Many of your readers know Lynn from her years at the Henry Carter Hull Library and her work with Families Helping Families. Much like my wife and children, Lynn has had a profound and lasting impact on so many in Clinton.

Lynn is a respected member of the Clinton community who is valued, trusted, and committed to doing what is best for our town. Lynn’s passion for learning is one of her special gifts. Lynn has never been afraid to ask difficult questions that spark a healthy debate, so she can make an informed and educated decision before casting a vote. Lynn’s authentic ability, calm manner, and her keen insight make her a valuable member of the team that comprises the Board of Police Commissioners.

I have served with Lynn for the past four years and am humbled to work with her on this board. I encourage your readers to re-elect Lynn Hidek for another term on the Board of Police Commissioners. Lynn is an incredible asset to the Town of Clinton, the men and women of the Clinton Police Department, and to the Board of Police Commissioners.
