It's only weeks until the Republican convention.

We already know a lot about Mitt Romney, the candidate. But, what do we know about Mitt Romney, the local man?

For the next few weeks, Belmont Patch editor Franklin Tucker will be looking into what kind of impact the Romneys have had on their local community.

We're interested in your thoughts on how the Romneys have affected Belmont and surrounding communities. Do you have a story about dealing with the Romneys or running into Secret Service agents? Tell us about it in the comments section below or email Franklin Tucker.

And join us every Friday morning for our latest installment of The Romney Effect.
