It is with great enthusiasm that I write this letter of support for Dan Feltes for governor of New Hampshire. There is no question Dan is an intelligent, capable and intuitive leader. He has already demonstrated these undeniable skills in the New Hampshire Senate. His record speaks for itself. However, I would like to expand on Dan’s sense of decency and caring.
Earlier this year, the Hopkinton Fire Department lost firefighter Peter Gould to sarcoma. As one might imagine, it had a prominent effect on the entire department. In December, shortly after Peter’s passing, the department gathered for its monthly meeting. Feltes made it a point to interrupt his schedule by coming to the fire department meeting and offering his condolences to each of us. It meant a lot to us.
I’m convinced Feltes is motivated by serving people. He was under no obligation to come to see us, yet despite his busy schedule he made a special trip at 6 in the evening with the sole intention to offer us condolences and support. I was impressed, and I think anyone who understands the demands of a state senator or the dedication of a firefighter would be too!
I need a leader in the governor’s office who is intelligent, decent and reflective enough to make decisions based on supporting the best interest of citizens – and following through with them. Surely, Dan Feltes is that leader.
