Selectman Douglas Ann Bohman of Chatham today issued this endorsement of Andy Buckley for the Republican nomination for State Representative for the 4th Barnstable District:

For many years, we’ve been well-served by our State Representative, Shirley Gomes. She knows the Lower and Outer Cape like no other, she stays in touch, she is down-to-earth, and she gets things done. Now we are faced with the choice of who will replace her.

As a registered independent – or “Unenrolled” – voter, I have many choices this season. Out of all of them, one candidate stands out as the one I trust to carry on the legacy of Shirley Gomes. I am proud to announce my endorsement of Andy Buckley for State Representative for the Lower and Outer Cape.

When he was elected to the Board of Selectman, Andy gave a voice to those not normally with a seat at the table – the local working families, trying to get by. And he accomplished more in one year than some who have served many times that.

When Andy left the Board to support his wife’s decision to join the military after September 11th, we were sorry to see such a productive and articulate member leave. But we understood his desire to do more for his country, even if it meant giving up everything – his home, his job and his office – to become a simple military spouse overseas. Andy demonstrated that he had the courage of his convictions.

That’s the character of a State Representative we can be proud of. Honest. Fair. Tough. Determined. Someone we can count on to represent our values on Beacon Hill.

Please go to polls for the Republican Primary on September 19th and join me in voting for Andy Buckley for State Representative.

Bohman was Chair during Buckley's tenure on the Chatham Board of Selectman.
