Endorsement by Jamie Cherlin

Steve and I met over 10 years ago as “adversaries” on the travel soccer coaching sidelines.  Our competitive beginnings quickly turned into friendship and mutual respect for one another both on and off of the soccer field.  His competitive qualities and his ability to reach across the sideline with respect for his opponent is a quality that I have greatly admired in Steve and one that will translate very well and contribute to his success as First Selectman for the Town of Monroe.

We both shared a common goal:  The development and happiness of our players.   Even though we competed against each other, we worked together to ensure this most important goal was attained.  His willingness to reach across the aisle to achieve a common goal will serve the citizens of Monroe well.  His commitment to and experience serving on many town boards and volunteer organizations also demonstrate his long-term commitment and his desire to help the citizens of Monroe.

Monroe will be well served by electing Steve Vavrek as First Selectman on November 3rd!
