Hashim: the experienced candidate

By

Wednesday, August 3, 2022 — Issue 675

PUTNEY — Nader Hashim of Dummerston is the experienced candidate to replace retiring Windham County Senators Becca Balint and Jeanette White.

A former Windham-4 state representative (Dummerston, Putney, Westminster), Hashim knows firsthand how our Legislature works and how to work in our Legislature.

A former Vermont state trooper, Hashim knows firsthand real-life Vermont and real-life Vermonters.

A law clerk becoming a lawyer, Hashim knows firsthand how laws that our legislators pass work in practice as he prepares to practice law.

I have voted for Nader Hashim as the experienced candidate for Windham County state senator.

On Jan. 26, Brattleboro was treated to an evening of Windham County’s Got Talent. Young contestants got a chance to perform for the judges and the public.
