We are writing in support of Adam Lachman for Rockland's City Council. Adam is a candidate who possesses the experience, commitment and integrity that we should all want to see in our elected officials. In addition to being a small business owner and native of the Midcoast, he has worked in government for nearly a decade at the local, State and Federal levels.

Adam is NOT a career politician, however. His work has focused in the areas of public policy and local and State economics. He has a proven ability to work with people from different political and ideological backgrounds in order to get things done for the people. He has been able to accomplish this by listening to all sides and working to build consensus and solving problems focusing on the common goals of the parties, not their differences.

This skill is exactly what is needed on the Rockland City Council.

We need someone who can put aside the noise and division that is so common in today's political landscape.

We need someone who is willing to listen to the real issues of our community and be willing to roll up his sleeves and do what is required to move our City forward without fanfare, without press releases or rallys - just do the work.

Adam's approachable and humble demeanor makes him accessible to anyone who wants to share their thoughts or ideas but it's his open mindedness that allows him to truly listen. Join us and vote for Adam Lachman for Rockland City Council.
