Candidate Statement: John Coutinho for Select Board

By contributor,

Over the last many years, residents of Hopkinton, through their elected representatives, have worked together to build our amazing community. Past and present members of all our elected and appointed committees have volunteered countless hours to make Hopkinton the special place it is today.

By contributor,

My name is Amy Ritterbusch and I am running in a contested race for a seat on the Hopkinton
Select Board. I am a hard worker, I do my research and I have a long history of involvement
with the town and schools. This is a critical time for Hopkinton due to the rapid growth and
development we continue to experience, as well as the new issues facing the town now due to
COVID-19. I don’t have all the answers, but I believe it is important to have Select Board
members with diverse backgrounds that better reflect the priorities of the town population as a
