Jamie Stephens used to tease me every summer and say, “Well, what is my Summer Sandy project this year?”

I have worked side-by-side with Jamie on the Children’s Center, Sally’s Garden (including the farmers market site and the community garden), Lopez Community Land Trust housing construction, the Skate Park, and numerous events. Jamie works hard and is not afraid to completely throw himself into his work. He is smart, has a sense of humor (which one needs in dealing with politics), and cares deeply about the fabric of community.

I plan to vote for Jamie this election and hope you will consider joining me.
