Letter: Holcomb Receives Support

Sat, Oct 22, 2011

As a lifelong friend and colleague of Dave Holcomb, my wife Susan and I firmly support his re-election to the Town Council.

Dave should need no historical introduction to many of you so I leave that to other letters of support that will or already have appeared. Despite four terms on the board, Dave is not a politician. The Town of Hamilton needs Dave to continue his role on the board. I had the honor of servicing with Dave for eight years on the board. He, in particular, is important in many ways. Dave will ask the hard question that others will sit and wonder silently," Should I ask that?" Dave listens to those with differing views but does not patronize them into a false sense of what his position really is.

Dave knows the very basic role of town government and makes every attempt to keep the board focused on that role. Dave works very hard in his professional life, his family life and also for the town. He wants to see farmers have a chance to continue their lifestyle and see that multiple generations of Hamiltonians have the option of staying in Hamilton. Dave works on behalf of us to keep Hamilton growing in sensible fashion that is in keeping with the lifestyle we all are accustomed to and hope to see for many years to come.

Dave's direct and to the point style of communication as well as his perspective allow him to view issues as a taxpayer and not just as a board member seeking re-election. These are strong attributes that help him keep the proverbial " eye on the ball."

My family and I support Dave Holcomb and we hope you all will too!
