Reading the national news as you sip your first cup can be enough to send you back to bed! Conflict and hardcore partisanship dominate the conversation. Don’t we deserve better from our federal representatives? While we may make calls or write letters, we wonder if our voices are heard. 

We have an opportunity here in Rockland to fare better than the national scene  by electing a City Councilor who values your voice and the importance of community. David Statman has invested in our town by participating as a board member of AIO Food and Energy Assistance and of the Good Tern Co-op. He also serves on the Rockland Energy and Sustainability Advisory Committee. He advises the Sierra Club Maine on clean and green energy technologies as a member of its clean energy team.

Team is the operative word as you get to know David Statman. In his own words, “no matter what the issue, I believe in open, transparent communication. (It’s why I'm a lousy poker player.)”

He’s ready to draw on years of collaborative experience, to invest in a sustainable future for Rockland and to preserve the community he’s gotten to love. 

Let’s vote with conviction and confidence that the city of Rockland can achieve progressive and innovative change without sacrificing the community we all have gotten to love.
