I am writing to support Guy Desjardins for Androscoggin County sheriff. I have worked closely with Desjardins, and I find him to be a man of great integrity and honesty – a rare combination in today’s world. He is always willing to listen and consider all sides before making a decision, another rarity in today’s world.

He knows how important the security of our family and property is to us. He will make and keep Adroscoggin County a safe place to live and raise our children.

He is both an active member of our community and a small-business owner as well. He knows how to make positive things happen, and how to employ the best business practices for getting the job done in a cost-effective way.

I will be voting for Guy Desjardins for Androscoggin County sheriff on Nov. 7.
