Yet Another Endorsement
The following letter appeared in the May 17, 2014 Cape Cod Times entitled, "Rebecca Putnam has experience to be selectman." Thank you, Ms. Hickey!
May 17, 2014
Falmouth has a fantastic opportunity to elect a selectman who will make Falmouth an outstanding place to live, work and play.
Rebecca Putnam — an eight-year town meeting veteran — is running for selectman. Rebecca is someone who has the requisite experience to be selectman. She has served in leadership roles for local nonprofit organizations, has been involved in town government, and is a successful small-business owner.
We can see her values in her son Andrew, who has served our community on the Affirmative Action Committee and the Cape Cod Commission, and in her two daughters, Kaytlen and Victoria, who have also volunteered their time to our community and schools. Her husband, Brent, is now chairman of the Board of Selectmen. I have had the pleasure to work professionally with Rebecca and see firsthand her mastery of negotiation and conflict resolution.
With Rebecca's election, the selectmen would have someone who can hit the ground running, and the board would have a female majority for the first time.
For the first time in more than 40 years, I have chosen to put a political sign on my lawn to indicate the best candidate for selectman: Rebecca Putnam.

Another Endorsement
The following letter appeared in the May 17, 2014 Cape Cod Times entitled, "Elect Rebecca Putnam instead of another dud." Thank you, Ms. Finnell!

As Falmouth considers its next selectmen, it would be wise to recall some previous disappointments.
We elected someone active in her neighborhood but with zero experience in town government. She lasted one term after controversial speed "bumpuses" mysteriously appeared on her neighborhood roads.
We elected a college professor who refused to let the selectmen recite the pledge of allegiance, making Falmouth a national embarrassment. She lasted one term.
We elected a member of the school committee who recently revealed that she has no knowledge of Falmouth's roads.
Three years ago, we brought back a retired selectman. He sued the town.
We've never been disappointed by a Putnam. Outgoing Chairman Brent Putnam brought dignity to the board and ousted an ineffective town manager. Andrew Putnam has served admirably on our Affirmative Action Committee, and on the Cape Cod Commission.
Now Rebecca Putnam — an eight-year veteran of town meeting — is running for selectman. Like her husband and son, she consistently does her homework and she listens. She is the only candidate who has committed to holding regular, open office hours, as a selectman, to listen to citizens concerns.
Please remember to vote Tuesday. Every vote counts!

An Endorsement
The following letter appeared in the May 15, 2014 Cape Cod Times entitled, "Elect Rebecca Putnam as a Falmouth selectman." Thank you, Mr. Drolette!
May 15, 2014
I'm writing to endorse Rebecca Putnam for selectman.
Rebecca has experience working as part of a team to lead organizations, just as our Board of Selectmen must work as a team to lead our town. She has served on the board of directors of several nonprofit organizations, including the local Kiwanis Club, and most recently joined the board of the Falmouth Fireworks Committee.
Rebecca is not new to town government. In recent years, Falmouth has elected selectmen with little or no government experience, sometimes with embarrassing results. As a veteran of town meetings, Rebecca has an institutional knowledge of our town government, how it works, and why we do what we do. Her presence on the board would help it avoid repeating mistakes of the past.
Rebecca has project experience. I've personally worked with her on several developments and can attest to her understanding of projects, including establishing milestones, and keeping costs under control.
The Board of Selectmen is Falmouth's ombudsman. If we approve the water and sewer projects, we'll need someone on the board who knows what questions to ask and where the pitfalls lie.
I can think of no better candidate for selectman than Rebecca Putnam.
