Nate Davis has solid, steady energy. These are good qualities for a city councilor. Nate is polite, a good listener and asks probing questions. Nate visualizes the city’s future to craft Rockland into a city that makes the most of its land, air, water, infrastructures, businesses, and people. Nate is a big picture guy considering each puzzle piece to create the best fit for all parts.

November 7 will offer several choices for city council seats. What tips the scale when voting? Integrity and kindness are top on my list. I greatly admired how Nate served his first three-year term on Council and I want him to come back to continue his intelligent and broad thinking to set policies for Rockland. The job of city councilor involves a lot of reading, listening to community members, considering impact of policy changes, and balancing what is a good decision or a good compromise. 

Those who know how much the Steel House on Main Street contributes to Rockland’s vibrancy can thank Nate Davis for being the co-founder and CTO of this collaborative maker’s space. Nate’s experience in finance, art, design & technology is valuable for imagining Rockland’s potential.

Candidates sometimes use dazzle and volume to get elected. Be careful who you want in the Rockland councilor’s seat. Your vote selects a person to be the face and voice of Rockland. Ask what kind of respect, intelligence and vision your councilor can bring to the job.

I will be voting for Nate.
