Letter: Support Rich Townsend for Town Council

My family has known the Townsends since 2001 and I got to know Rich well in the past six years as co-manager of the endowments of the United Methodist Church of NC and co-leader of our churches volunteer efforts at Habitat for Humanity. At Habitat, we build houses for low income families in Bridgeport one Saturday a month. What’s a better way to get to know someone by working on a scaffold together? I have learned that Rich is intelligent, financially astute, generous, enthusiastic, a go-getter and a family man. He is compassionate and wants to make our community a better place to live.
