"I've worked with Craig for the last 4 years on the town's architectural review board, and have seen that he is a thoughtful and staunch defender of the town's environmental ideals.

His work has encouraged me to believe our wonderful 50 year history, dedicated to the conservation of rural open space and small volunteer government, will continue with the younger generation."
