Littleton Town Selectman: Marghie Seymour

Marghie Seymour gets sworn in as Selectman by Vice-Chair, Ed Boynton.THANK YOU, LITTLETON!

It was so gratifying to see so many of you giving me those thumbs-up at the polls. I really felt like the month leading up to March 9 was a chance to hear your concerns and understand your hopes for Littleton. My goal was to let you all know what I could bring to this town as selectman, and the vote confirmed that you understood that.

Thank you to everyone who helped spread the word about "Marghie Seymour." I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate your support and encouragement.

Littleton Selectman 2010My sincerest thanks go to Eddy Moore for his dedication and hard work these past many years, and I look forward to working with him on town issues moving forward.

As I said in my radio interview, I didn't venture on this journey because I thought it would be easy. I am committed to working diligently across departments and town boards to make Littleton the thriving community that I know it can be.

Thank you for trusting that I will serve you -- not only with your best interest in mind -- but your tax dollar, as well.

I love Littleton -- and I am honored that you have chosen me to be your town selectman.

Meet Marghie Seymour — 30-year resident of Littleton, property owner and practicing civil attorney.
