Westwood Residents - Vote for Michael Walsh if you want to Support Farming in Westwood
This update is primarily for Westwood residents who are eligible to vote in the upcoming election for the Select Board.
If you want to see Westwood’s tradition of farming continue, you need to get out and vote for Michael Walsh and encourage others to do the same. However, Michael Walsh is not a one issue candidate, he has the courage to put his position in writing on the critical issues that the Town needs to address.
There are two candidates running for the position: Erin Sibley and Michael Walsh. Anyone that takes the time to review their campaign literature will find that the decision is easy.

Take the time to compare the candidates, you will surely see there is no comparison.
