I am a life-long resident of Chester, and I am a registered Republican. We have elections coming up this year for our Town Board. We need the best people representing us, regardless of what party they are in, to make sure our tax dollars are being spent correctly and we are getting the best services possible out of our taxes. In the Republican Party Primary Election coming up on June 23, I will be voting for our current Republican Councilman, Robert Courtenay, to represent us in Ward 1.
I’ve known Bob for more than a few years now. He cares about this town just like the rest of us. He’s served on the board longer than any other current board member, making him one of the most experienced public servants we have in the town. Bob voted for a budget last year that lowered taxes for Village of Chester residents and kept the increase for town residents to a minimum. He did not rest until he and the Town Board took action to restore the lights at Chester Commons Park which allowed our kids to have Friday Night Lights again. He also funded infrastructure work that was done in the Surrey Meadows Sewer District.
Bob has represented us well over the years. He does everything he can to improve our lives. He deserves to continue to be our Republican candidate in Ward 1. Vote for Bob Courtenay.
