I am writing this letter to support Mark O’Brien for election to the Augusta City Council.

I have had the opportunity and privilege of working with Mark in several capacities over the past two decades. While he was chairman of the Augusta board of education, I served under his leadership, where he provided guidance and support to the board.

Mark has recently succeeded me as president of the Capitol Area Recreation Association board of directors and has served on the board for several years, providing his knowledge in helping with CARA’s mission.

While serving on the City Council, Mark listened to all sides of the argument before voting for what he felt was the best for the citizens of this community.

Mark has been a strong leader in this community for many years in several capacities. Please join me in voting for Mark on Election Day.
