I’m an artist, organizer, and co-founder of Veggies For All and Waldo County Bounty — both food security organizations. I’ve known Chip Curry for a decade through the Unity College community, as a neighbor, and by serving together on Maine Community Foundation’s Waldo County Fund board.

In these settings, I’ve found Chip to be curious, gentle, and thoughtful. While the ability to listen compassionately and think critically are his strengths, also notable is Chip’s simple, strong willingness to show up. He has literally shown up to volunteer commitments, community efforts, and service-oriented roles consistently. Chip has also metaphorically  “shown up” in tough conversations, in his willingness to learn and integrate new information, and in the seriousness with which he approaches public service.

I have no doubt that Chip will continue to “show up” to do what a senator should: vote, work through conflict, engage in transparent dialogue, and put community first.
