Correy Uplifts Others
A few years ago, I read a “Letter from the Readers” entry in the Fairhaven Neighborhood News. The letter’s views were completely opposite to mine, and because of that, it inspired me to take my first steps into civil service duties in Fairhaven. I wanted to be active and bring my voice to the conversation.
A couple years later, I read another letter, this time reminding us what civil servitude was, and reminding us we shouldn’t just accept the status quo. That letter was written by Leon Correy. I was inspired once again: this time for the love of my hometown, to make it better. As I learned more about Leon, I learned about his honesty, integrity, his drive to always try harder, and be better.
I can tell you his qualifications, but it has been repeated enough. What hasn’t been stated enough is his intelligence, compassion, and heart. He is out, rain or shine, election season or not, trying to improve our town and getting to know its residents by canvassing in all our precincts. It’s a joke between my husband and me now: “Where in Fairhaven is Leon Correy today?”
Consistently, Leon uplifts others and the town of Fairhaven. He is raising the bar and that is why I’ll proudly choose Leon Correy III for Selectboard this April 4th Election Day.
