GNAT - Candidate Statement

Hello Manchester. 

My name is Jonathan West, and I'm thrilled to announce my candidacy for the Manchester Selectboard's 2-year seat. 

Now, you might wonder, "Why am I running?" And the answer is DEEPLY personal.

I’m a father to four incredible children and a proud 10th-generation resident of Manchester.

My journey, shaped by our local schools - MEMS, BBA, and UVM…has taught me the importance of being connected and committed to the community.

My PROFOUND love for our town, has driven me to make this commitment to Manchester…to help address our challenges, and build a future that reflects the values we strive for as a family and community.
