I am writing to endorse Pam Brown in the February 19^th special election for State Representative. I have seen Pam's strong leadership skills while working with her on President Obama's re-election campaign and her dedication, sense of humor, and patients have inspired many of us during this past year.

In the time I have known Pam, I have always found her to be a dedicated advocate for community service. This weekend she will be participating in the Presidential Inauguration Day of Service, and has volunteered for Harbor Homes and other local organizations and schools. She currently works in Manchester at WestBridge Community Services, a non-profit that serves individuals with co-occurring mental illness and substance-use disorders.

Through her work, volunteer activities, and her two children (one child has special needs) who attend Nashua public schools, Pam has seen first hand how decisions made in the State House can affect every citizen of Nashua. The drastic cuts made to social services and education under the previous house leadership have put a strain on Nashua, making the hard work that people like Pam do even more difficult.

I will be voting for Pam Brown on February 19^th because I know that she will always put her community first. Sending Pam to Concord to work with Representatives David Cote and Mary Gorman will ensure that the residents of Nashua Ward 4 will always have the strong voices advocating for them that they deserve.
