Subject: I'm voting for Michael Rubenstein for Select Board - and you should too

Dear Friends and Neighbors,  {or Dear [Friend’s Name]}

I hope this email finds you well. I’m reaching out about the Select Board election on Tuesday, May 6th.

I’m proudly supporting my friend, Michael Rubenstein, because I believe he is the right choice for Brookline at this moment. [2-3 sentences about your personal connection to Michael or why you first decided to support him]

Brookline is facing complex challenges. [optional: 2-3 problems that matter most to you]

We need leaders with experience tackling complex issues and who are prepared to work together and produce solutions to meet Brookline’s challenges. Michael has proven he can deliver results with 25 years of business leadership, 10 years of public service, as well as organizing and working with others to help pass Brookline’s compliance with the MBTA Communities Act.

Your vote matters in this election. The last Select Board three-way race was determined by only 26 votes!
