Marie Sobalvarro: Harvard Citizen Endorsements

“I have come to respect and admire Marie as the Finance Committee Liaison to the Council on Aging and her leadership in the Volunteer Fair. She is bright and a good listener and problem solver. She has true commitment and follow-through. I wholeheartedly endorse her for Selectman.”
Carlene Phillips
Chair, Council on Aging

build consensus.”
Ginger Kendall

"I support Marie Sobalvarro for Selectman because Marie cares about Harvard. She listens. She can deeply define the facts. She supports her ideas with thoughtful, well-reasoned analysis."
Paul Green

“At a time when we need clarity in thinking, sound financial skills,
a willingness to listen and think independently, and a proven ability
to collaborate respectfully and effectively, I enthusiastically
support Marie’s candidacy for Selectperson.”
Bruce Leicher

“Marie’s intelligence, business and healthcare background, and extraordinary capacity to dig into the facts of each issue are a great asset to Harvard. She is an energetic collaborator with a deep commitment to the needs of citizens of all ages.”
Bonnie Sweeney

"Marie thinks through any given situation...and thinks carefully...before she expresses an opinion. I feel confident that she's not only capable of weighing the many competing factors at work in local government, but that she'll be conscientious about representing our collective interests."
Cyndy Karon

"We are in real need of public servants like Marie Sobalvarro. She is, as they say, "the real deal." I have worked closely with her and watched her yeoman's work as part of the Finance Committee. Marie always does her homework and brings a depth of understanding to the table each and every time she arrives. Her style, even when her opinion differs from others', is to maintain a level-headed civility and bring a consensus-building mindset to each and every situation.

Perhaps most importantly, Marie is a quiet leader with a clear vision and experience attending to Harvard's fiscal issues. She leads through her actions, preparation and constructive commentary."
