I served with Dave Rollins on the Augusta City Council for nine years and know his strengths well. His leadership brought strength to our local economy and small businesses while keeping property taxes consistently low during his years on the City Council and as our mayor.
He has always been a strong advocate of public education and he supports now and continuing to keep the state’s share of the cost of K-12 education at 55%. This will also keep our property taxes low.
Dave made Augusta a military and veteran-friendly community to support the courageous families who kept us safe in Augusta and nationwide.
Dave will fight to keep our local roads and highways safe. Good and safe roads are necessary for public safety and the economy.
Please join me in voting for Dave Rollins on Nov. 5.
