I would restore funding to the school that was cut this year (against the will of many residents) which is having detrimental effects. I would promote Winslow as an awesome place to live and raise a family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-e44e021b wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-4-font-size\">Why are you running?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-left is-style-short-red\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While I have nothing personal against anyone on our council, I have concerns. I believe I can bring a fresh perspective, a positive outlook, more transparency, and fairness to the table.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-e44e021b wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-4-font-size\">What is the biggest challenge facing your town\/county? The biggest opportunity?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-left is-style-short-red\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How to grow our community amidst rising costs in a floundering economy might be the challenge of the day. Winslow is a full-service town that has a good reputation and a high degree of support from residents. We have a great base to continue building the town we want to live in.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-e44e021b wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-4-font-size\">If you could change one thing about how the town\/county functions, what would it be and why?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-left is-style-short-red\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The town functions fairly well, so I wouldn&#039;t want to mess with it too much. However, I do believe strongly in community outreach and I think Winslow could do a better job in this area&#8230; also I&#039;m not averse to taking suggestions! I&#039;ll talk with anyone who wants to make a positive difference and get involved.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-e44e021b wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-4-font-size\">Do you support more development \u2013 i.e. more housing construction and business building in your town\/county? Why or why not?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-left is-style-short-red\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. I would support new housing construction and encourage the creation of new small businesses. I believe growing our community is important to maintain our vitality and avoid becoming stagnant. Our town is our future and we should look at it as an investment in that future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12982,"template":"","meta":{"voter_guide_candidate_first_name":"Daniel","voter_guide_candidate_middle_name":"Joseph","voter_guide_candidate_last_name":"Potelle","voter_guide_candidate_suffix":"","voter_guide_candidate_race_id":12375,"voter_guide_candidate_age":56,"voter_guide_candidate_hometown":"","voter_guide_candidate_occupation":"Self Employed.
