I am writing to support Len Greaney to become the next senator from the River Valley district. Eleven years ago, he moved to this area for the same reasons many people are here – the beauty of the area and the friendliness of the people. Unfortunately, it is also an area of stagnant growth and, to many residents, economic hardship.

Greaney’s background in business has involved problem solving, creativity and setting measurable goals, with demonstrated success in all. I feel that he would be a tremendous benefit to this region in the state senate. Greaney will represent voters with dignity, intelligence, perseverance and concern.

The River Valley will have a voice in Augusta that will be heard.
