I am writing to support Cary Bozeman for Port Commissioner.

I worked closely with Cary when he was mayor of Bremerton and I was on the city council. I was impressed with his vision for the revitalization of downtown Bremerton and by his ability to get things done. During his time as mayor, more was accomplished to improve Bremerton than any period since the city was deserted in the 1980s. Almost everything that has been done since he left office was part of the plan that he developed. Downtown continues to evolve into a vibrant urban area.

Since retiring as the executive director for the Port, Cary worked for the City of Aberdeen developing a plan to revitalize their downtown. He continues to help Aberdeen on a volunteer basis.

Cary has an amazing ability to focus on the big picture and to see clearly what needs to be done to improve life for the citizens of our community. His experience and ability to enlist the right people to fund and accomplish projects is indeed a rare talent. We are fortunate to have someone of his caliber willing to donate his time to help improve the economic prospects for Bremerton and Kitsap County.

Will Maupin,
Bremerton.
