Over the past 35-plus years I have served as either an elected or appointed official, it has been my privilege to work with some of the most outstanding and dedicated people the town has to offer.

One in particular is Mike Wood. I have chosen to support Mike, due to his commitment to the position he held while on the Scarborough Planning Board. Mike made sure that his homework was done and that there was no feeling of a preconceived decision on his mind when it came time to listen to all the points. Then and only then did he make up his mind as to how he was going to vote.

Scarborough needs an independent thinker and I guarantee you that his vote will not be politically or prejudicially influenced. I urge you to vote for Mike Wood in the upcoming election.
