Editor, Gazette-Journal:

We are supporting Troy Andersen for Gloucester County School Board in this upcoming election.

While there are those who would like to distract you from the mission of the school board, Troy remains committed to students, families, and teachers. His knowledge, professionalism, and sincerity shines above the rest.

As a student at GHS, I shared a homeroom class with Troy Anderson. He was kind and intelligent. The daily anagrams given to us by Roger Loring, were always mastered by Troy first. While these may have been only fun brain puzzles, I do often see the same look on his face as he focuses to piece together the puzzle pieces for GCPS in calm and decisive manner. He grew to become a good, family man.

Despite the continued noise and drama that the school board has had to endure, my trust in Troy to continue to do what is right does not waver.

Please vote for Troy Andersen.
