I am writing in support of Robert Peirent’s candidacy for Ward 4 city councilor in Easthampton. I have had the pleasure of working closely with Bob on several projects focused on land preservation, development, and environmental stewardship, and feel well qualified to speak on his behalf.

Here are some things you should know about Bob:
He is bright, hardworking, approachable and genuine. Facts matter to him, and he takes the time to understand issues thoroughly before forming opinions or making decisions.

His engineering background and extensive involvement in city projects have given him a deep understanding of how the city functions. Those who have worked with him respect his professionalism, integrity, insight and ethics.

He approaches problems with an open mind and a balanced perspective. Bob is deeply committed to improving our community and will work tirelessly on behalf of Easthampton’s residents.

He is a true collaborator. Bob understands that progress depends on listening, compromise, and teamwork, and he brings these qualities to all that he does.

Although I don’t live in his precinct and can’t vote for him, I wish I could. I encourage Ward 4 voters to vote for Robert Peirent, and he will serve you with dedication, competence. He will never let you down.
