Why John? For me the choice is simple John listens and asks questions. I also believe he will he get things done. In a climate when we have leaders that tend to speak over each other and place their own agenda above the good of the community. I want a leader who takes the time to listen to the concerns of the people they will serve then takes action. I sense that is type of leader John will be. I genuinely feel that John wants to make Newton a better community for ALL its residents.
