I am writing to support a friend and colleague, Corey Vose, in his run for a seat on the Augusta City Council.

Corey and I have worked alongside each other for the past two and half years as members of the Augusta Planning Board. During this time, I have seen Corey transition from the vice chairman position to the chairman position.

In this leadership role, he has demonstrated a strong sense of urgency, initiative and drive to gets things done correctly through a collaborative approach.

Corey has a vested interest in our community with a desire to make the changes necessary to move us in the right direction. I plan to Vote for Vose on Nov. 8 and, hopefully, you will too.
