I am writing this letter to the editor encouraging friends and neighbors to vote for Claude Morgan for South Portland City Council District 1. We are living in a difficult time with the COVID-19 pandemic causing most people to worry about their health, their jobs and their family members. We are also aware of the difficulties both financially and personnel-wise our city is facing. I hope you will consider voting for Claude Morgan during this election. I have had the privilege to sit on the council with Claude and I know how diligent he is researching the facts that come before the council. Claude’s background is in numbers. He understands how decreasing a single department budget can have a significant negative impact on perhaps two others. We need to work together and hence I am asking you to vote for Claude. These difficult times require experience and people who do their research.

Claude has sat on a variety of committees in the years he sat on the council. This background is a great assist as he makes decisions to direct our city. Most importantly, Claude will answer your phone calls and emails.

Former councilor and mayor of the City of South Portland
