To the editor:

Jeff Branch is a solid candidate for Franklin County legislator. Jeff grew up in Saranac Lake, and chose to raise his family here because he loves the North Country. As chairman of the Winter Carnival Committee, a member of the Saranac Lake Central School District Board of Education and Saranac Lake Elks BPOE 1508, I have worked with Jeff many times. He works hard, tries to do the right thing to make the community a better place, and has fun doing it. It’s not always about Republicans vs. Democrats or politics. It’s refreshing to be able to vote for a candidate because they are a good person, who makes good decisions, and you respect. Jeff Branch checks all those boxes.
