There will be close to 50 articles and 11 open elected official positions with 20 people running. I\u2019ve always found these town elections overwhelming, with pages and pages of endless jargon and lists of names, but in each of the six years I\u2019ve lived here I\u2019ve dragged the kids out to Londonderry High School Gymnasium and did my best to vote what I felt was right for the town we\u2019ve chosen to raise our kids in. I\u2019ll be honest, even after doing research beforehand, I often felt lost and uncertain about a lot of what was on the ballot, particularly town officials. Even this time around, there is so much I am still wrapping my head around, and almost nothing feels like the perfect solution. With that being said, there is one person I feel very confident in supporting and encouraging you to vote for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I may share a last name with this person, but hear me out. If you have been following any of the recent town hall meetings, you will know this has been a particularly turbulent and volatile year and it\u2019s not over yet. The town is growing rapidly, which requires big changes and even bigger decisions. We need town council members who have lived through the recent history of our town, are considerably familiar with the complexities of town rules and regulations as well as our schools and public service departments and their valued members, and have experience in the management of businesses and community organizations. We need a town council member who listens and speaks regularly to us, the residents. A town council member who is not afraid to speak up, to question, and to examine, study and research every detail and fine line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look no further than the legendary Dan Bouchard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His experience speaks for itself and I couldn\u2019t possibly come close to covering it all, but I\u2019ll list just a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dan has been a town resident for over 40 years.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He served as a Londonderry Police Officer for 28 years and was our town\u2019s first School Resource Officer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He has led many successful school fundraisers, cherished town events and invaluable community committees and service projects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He has successfully owned and managed small businesses in this town.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll find his name frequently in the town hall minutes and local newspapers, because well before running for Town Council he has always invested his personal time into the ongoing development of Londonderry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no one I would want more in my corner than my father-in-law, Dan Bouchard. He will drop anything to help someone in need and if he can\u2019t help, he\u2019s friends with someone who can. He\u2019s confident, smart, diligent, honest, resourceful and cares deeply for Londonderry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s already volunteered countless hours to this town and he\u2019s stepping up once again, now as a grandfather to six young Londonderry residents, to champion business development, foster community engagement, support our schools and public services, push for efficient governance, ensure safe standards and be a voice for all town residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Vote_Dan.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Vote_Dan.jpg 960w, https:\/\/townunderground.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Vote_Dan-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/townunderground.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Vote_Dan-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/townunderground.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Vote_Dan-850x638.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ashley Bouchard<br>Londonderry Resident<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TownUnderground:\u00a0<em>The information posted above was submitted by a Londonderry resident.
