A while back this polite dad came into my workplace, Waterfall Arts, the old Anderson School in Belfast.  He wanted to know if he could install  lights for night hockey at the community skating rink out back, so more folks could enjoy the ice. I saw him again, chaperoning his daughters’ class on a visit to our art gallery.  He was friendly, outgoing and clearly responsive to community needs.  This, in a nutshell, is Chip Curry, currently running for re-election to the State Senate District 11.  

Later I had the pleasure of serving with Chip on the board of the Waldo County Fund of the Maine Community Foundation.  He was conscientious and thoughtful with grantees, traits I have no doubt he carries into his service work for constituents.  Chip has been a strong community leader, the kind of person who pays attention to his neighbors, and acts to improve lives for families and young people right here.  

I hope you’ll join me in voting for Chip Curry this election day.
