April 28, 2026
I am writing to offer my strong support for Christine Hoyt and her re-election to the Adams Board of Selectmen. Over her nine years of service — including stints as chair and vice chair — she has built a deep understanding of the town's needs and developed relationships that directly benefit Adams.

Christine has been a steady leader focused on maintaining essential services, strengthening fiscal stability, supporting local businesses, and advancing important projects like the Adams Theater and Greylock Glen. She understands that there is still more work to be done, particularly in areas like infrastructure, economic development, and housing. However, this is exactly why her continued leadership is so important — we cannot afford to lose the valuable knowledge, experience, and continuity she brings at this critical time.


Beyond her resume, Christine stands out for how she serves. She genuinely cares about the residents and visitors of the town, as well as the town's employees. Collaborative by nature, she consistently steps into leadership roles when needed and is a trusted resource for those seeking guidance on town matters. She is always professional, prepared, and thoughtful in addressing the issues that come before the board. I don't think that those are skill sets we can afford to lose at this time.

Christine Hoyt provides the experience, dedication, and steady leadership that Adams needs to keep moving forward. I strongly encourage voters to support her re-election on Monday, May 4.

Letter: Christine Hoyt Best Choice for Adams Select Board on May 4

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

I am a proud resident of Adams, and it's clear that our town is moving in a positive direction. From the revitalization of the Adams Theater to the opening of the Greylock Glen Outdoor Center, we are seeing meaningful progress take shape.

Christine Hoyt has been a driving part of this momentum since 2017. During her time on the Select Board, she has worked to address critical priorities, such as infrastructure improvements (like the $6.5 million wastewater treatment upgrades), economic development, and the preservation of essential town services.

Re-electing Christine to a fourth term ensures continuity in this important work. Her role on the Local Government Advisory Commission (LGAC) enables her to advocate directly for Adams at the state level, helping secure general government aid, Chapter 90 funding, and support for public education. She also brings valuable leadership experience through her service as president of the Berkshire County Select Board Association, District 1 representative on both the Massachusetts Select Board Association and the Massachusetts Municipal Association Board of Directors, and her work with the Massachusetts Interlocal Insurance Association. This level of experience and representation is an asset our town cannot afford to lose.

Christine has proven she has the vision and the work ethic to lead Adams for another three years. I hope you will join me in voting for her on Monday, May 4, and keep the momentum going.

The election will be held on Monday, May 4, 2026, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Adams Memorial Building, 30 Columbia St.
