Deaglan McEachern committed to Portsmouth's children and their future

Oct. 30 − To the Editor:

I am writing in support of Deaglan McEachern for Portsmouth City Council. As a mother of three young children, I understand the importance of having dedicated and forward-thinking leaders who prioritize education and the future of our community.

Deaglan McEachern has consistently demonstrated his commitment to these values first on the council and now during his term as Mayor.

One of the aspects of Deaglan's platform that resonates deeply with me is his unwavering advocacy for education. Our children are the future of Portsmouth, and Deaglan understands the significance of providing them with the best possible educational opportunities. He has consistently worked to ensure that our schools receive the support and resources they need to thrive, assuring that our children have the foundation they need to succeed.

Furthermore, I am proud of Deaglan's dedication to addressing climate change. This term the council put forward a comprehensive climate action plan that shows his commitment to protecting our environment and securing a sustainable future for our community. In a time when climate issues are becoming increasingly urgent, having a

leader like Deaglan who takes proactive steps to address these challenges is crucial. As mentioned, children are the future and addressing climate change is crucial to their future success and happiness.

Deaglan's work in advocating for workforce housing also deserves recognition. He has shown a remarkable ability to engage with the community and explore innovative solutions to this complex issue. His open-minded approach and willingness to collaborate make him an effective leader who can bring people together to find viable options for affordable housing in our city.

In these challenging times, we need leaders who are dedicated, experienced, and capable of guiding our city towards a brighter future. Deaglan McEachern embodies these qualities and has a proven track record of making positive change in our community. He is the leader Portsmouth needs, and I wholeheartedly endorse his candidacy for Portsmouth City Council. Please join me in supporting him November 7th.
