I’m Voting for Team Mayberry!

Dear Editor:

Over the past several months, I have had the privilege of getting to know each of the “Mayberry” slate of candidates—Ben Nett, Chris Bertaut, Brian Green, Susan Khalil, and Jon Arnburg. This group of my fellow citizens seeks nothing more than to serve our interests with dignity, careful management, consistency, and integrity. 

The only gain they seek is a chance to serve their neighbors, and to preserve our town for future generations. As an Army Veteran and Eagle Scout, those qualities in candidates are important to me. Just this year, Ben was elected by his fellow officers to be Police Officer of the Year. The highest honor possible given the high quality of devotion and service given by all of Purcellville’s thin blue line. 

A debt of gratitude is owed to all of Purcellville’s police, firefighters, and paramedics, professional and volunteer, and their families who say goodbye to them every morning. In my heart, I know that Ben Nett, Chris Bertaut, Brian Green, Susan Khalil, and Jon Arnburg will be a terrific town government that will look after our community with the careful attention that we have been missing for so long. They have my confidence and support.
