Support Jackie Matts for Bennington Select Board 2025

I’m Jackie Matts, and I’m asking for your vote on March 4 for Bennington Select Board because I believe our community deserves bold, thoughtful leadership that focuses on what matters.

Bennington is a place with deep roots, where social responsibility is our hallmark. It’s where we look out for one another and where families should have the opportunity to thrive. But to keep that vision alive, we need leadership ready to tackle the challenges we face today.

My mission is simple: to ensure Bennington thrives as a place where everyone can afford to live, work, and grow - creating prosperity so future generations can succeed right here in Bennington.

Together, we can address:

1. Housing Affordability: Ensuring all residents have access to safe, affordable homes.
2. Attracting Family-Supporting Jobs: Bringing businesses and opportunities that help our community flourish.
3. High Property Taxes: Advocating for policies that ease the financial burden on residents.
4. Community Safety: Strengthening partnerships to create a safer, more connected town.
5. Substance Abuse and the Unhoused: Supporting compassionate, effective solutions for our most vulnerable neighbors.
6. Respectful Governance: Fostering a culture of respect and collaboration within our community.

Running a campaign takes resources, and your contribution will help us reach voters, share this vision, and advocate for the issues that matter most. Every dollar brings us closer to a safer, stronger, and more united Bennington.

Thank you for believing in me and in the potential of our community. Together, we can build a future we’re proud of.

Let’s focus on what matters and make progress together.
