Regan Sample is the best choice and the most qualified for the Longmont City Council in Ward 3. 

He has the financial education and business “know how” to wisely and fairly manage the city’s large budget. Combined with his work background, Regan is a tireless volunteer at his children’s school, for the Education Foundation, Artwalk, The Humane Society, and multiple organizations throughout Longmont. 

Despite what some outside groups may be trying to get the residents to believe, Regan is a humble and happy person, working as a realtor for a small local brokerage. He is not some big wig rich Boulderite coming in to Longmont to forget the “little” people. Although he was a financial advisor for several years, he has also been a waiter, a bread delivery man, a tutor, a grocery manager, and a financial analyst. Regan knows what it is like to work at all these jobs while, with his fine wife, Beth, raising a family with three children. 

Regan cares about all of the citizens of Longmont, regardless of job, ethnicity, or financial status. 

I am writing to encourage all the residents of Ward 3 to vote for Regan Sample. I have known Regan for almost 30 years. In those thirty years I have seen his incredible work ethic, his passion for community, his devotion to and love for his happy family, his love of his dogs and cats and his scrappy never give up attitude. I know these attributes will translate to Regan being an excellent representative for all the people of Ward 3.
