Chatham County needs commissioners who appreciate the cultural uniqueness  of Chatham County.

Subject: Jeffrey Starkweather

I am writing to urge all chatlist readers to vote for Jeffrey Starkweather.  I can attest to his hard work ethic, innovative thinking, concern for the “little person” and knowledge of governmental issues, problems and procedures.

When he represented me as my attorney, his concern, expertise, and diligence helped sustain me through a very difficult time.  Not only is he a very competent attorney, but he is a supportive person and an excellent listener as well.  I cannot speak highly enough of him.
