Supports Belcher for Precinct 3

Dear Editor

 My name is Mary-Kate Vaughan, I am not a resident of Winthrop, I live up in Wilmington but I visit Winthrop often as my best friend Hannah Belcher lives in Winthrop. Hannah is currently running for town council for precinct 3. Hannah loves Winthrop so much but what she loves more is me and my husband Josh. My husband Josh died last Thursday after a brief illness and I along with Hannah were devastated. He was my husband but he was like a brother to Hannah so I believe most of you can imagine this inconsolable loss. Hannah made an announcement to the Town of Winthrop requesting your patience as she pauses her running and events for 1 mere week while we say goodbye to our Joshua. Even while Hannah was sitting next to me on the couch or holding my hand she was fielding calls and emails regarding Winthrop and the Airport committee. It has come to my attention that there are some folks who are questioning where Hannah was and what was more important. Hannah was with me, crying, hurting, grieving and struggling. This was more important.

I will tell you now, there can’t possibly be anyone else that you want fighting for you then Hannah. Nobody else puts their whole heart into anything as much as Hannah does. She is strong, she is beyond smart and most importantly once she’s decided she’s in your corner then she’s your fighter for life.

Winthrop you are in charge of your own future and if you want a bright one and you want things to change for the better, you pick my friend Hannah.
