When I first met Jeff Bilodeau, more than 20 years ago, he was a recently discharged airman from the U.S. Air Force.

He had just arrived back in his hometown of Augusta with his wife, Sara, when we became neighbors and eventually friends.

I have seen Jeff grow through his dedication to service of country, family and the community. His many accomplishments in the National Guard has shown that Jeff is a recognized leader and a go-getter. Over the years he has become involved in the Augusta community and would be an asset to the City Council.

Jeff is open-minded yet decisive in his solutions to problems. He is someone who will listen to alternatives that will benefit Augusta.

Vote for Jeff, a young man with new ideas that are not the status quo!
