As the outgoing At-large city council member for Augusta, I’m putting my full support behind Bobby-Jo Bechard. I have witnessed firsthand the challenges our community faces, most notably housing and rising costs, and I believe Bechard is the leader we need to address our most pressing issues.
Our neighbors’ being unhoused are at the top of our minds. Bobby-Jo works every day with the intersection of these neighbors who are also struggling with mental health issues or substance use. She is passionate and grounded in her work to make our community thrive and empowers others to collaborate to solve our collective problems, backed up by her impressive background as a director of peer support programs.
I know that our city is in good hands with Bobby-Jo. Let’s come together to vote for the most qualified candidate on Nov. 5: Bobby-Jo Bechard!
