Please join me in voting for Greg Ayers, a conscientious steward for our port.

I have known Greg Ayers for several years now as an active member of our island who cares for the health and safety of our community. He’s worked to protect our marine environment through the Marine Resource Committee and promoted the health and safety of our youth as one of the founding members of the Island Reproductive Health Initiative.

I spoke with Greg regarding his run for Port Commission. I believe he will not lose sight of the basic facility maintenance and safety needs of our Port. While preserving the environment by looking at the whole picture when making decisions.

Greg will also be a good steward of the financial investment that the community has made in the Port. His track record of business success, managing and growing start-up companies into successful ventures, has given me full confidence in his ability to responsibly guide the tight budget of the Port.

Greg is visionary but also realistic. He will be a trustworthy steward, making the most of our resources to keep the Port running smoothly. Please vote Greg Ayers for Port Commissioner.
