Endorsements for my mayoral campaign

I’ve known Bob Wells for 6 years now in both a personal and business context and when I heard he was running for mayor I was delighted.  In the many times I have seen him in action I have been impressed by his solid grasp of the issues, whether it’s on water and the environment , the lack of affordable housing, urban planning, finding a permanent home for the Farmers Market, accessibility or many others. He has a genuine curiosity about what makes this community tick and a non-idealogical collaborative approach to working with his fellow counsellors and City staff. His personal support for many community causes and special events continues to impress me. But beyond all this, a mayor should also represent the spirit of the community. I believe Bob’s gregarious nature and boundless energy would really accentuate the compassionate, creative and culturally rich place we live in. For all these reasons, for mayor of Courtenay, Bob Wells has my vote.

To the Voters of the City of Courtenay,

When I heard that Bob Wells was running for Mayor of the City of Courtenay my eyebrows hit the ceiling and my mouth hit the floor. It all made sense, like the twist at the end of a good movie, you know, “I see dead people.”

I support Bob Wells for Mayor of Courtenay. What about Bob Wells makes him the best candidate for mayor? Bob has proven himself to be a skilled and trustworthy leader in business and in our community. His dedication to improving our community is unmatched. I’m serious, Bob reads the Energizer Bunny a bedtime story, gently tucks him in, gives it a tender kiss and then goes back to work. He’s that committed. I support Bob because I know that he will work tirelessly for the City as Mayor since he’s already doing it now.

When you’re in the voting booth on October 20th, 2018 ask yourself, “what about Bob?” What about Bob Wells is awesome? What about Bob Wells makes him the best choice for mayor? Then vote for Bob Wells, one of the hardest workers in Courtenay.

Bob Wells delivers. 

Whether it is in his role as a community builder through Rotary, a dedicated volunteer building homes for Habitat for Humanity, or as a champion to Arts and Culture in the Comox Valley, Bob Wells acts to ensure a stronger community. In the 15 years that I have known Bob he is an amazing family man, a spirited leader and a kind and truthful business entrepreneur. 

It is without hesitation that I endorse Bob Wells in his Mayoral candidacy for the City of Courtenay.

I remember the first time I photographed Bob Wells, he was about to open a small computer store on Comox Ave and now look at him and Michelle! Three kids later, basically running a computer empire with My Tech Guys, massive community contributor, and after years on Courtenay council now running for mayor. Despite all that swirls around him, he still takes my 911 computer emergency calls. Him and Michelle are two of the nicest people you can meet.

No gym? No problem. Fitness is flexible and our clients get their workouts done in the place that works best for them. On a sunny spring day, there’s no better place to be than outdoors in the fresh air and Bob Wells for Mayor crushes his workouts at the track with Coach Sarah Seads.

Bob is busy busy. Father of three, owner of My Tech Guys, City Counsellor and running for Mayor, he’s probably busier than you and us combined;). But here he is, rocking his fitness every week by making an appointment with his health (and his trainer).

Motivation through accountability is one of the biggest reasons our clients join our ELM family and well, that’s because it works! Figure out what motivated you today and don’t judge it, just go with it! Be like Bob. Set yourself up for success by identifying your strongest motivators, get it done and you will be happy you did!

I believe Bob takes a balanced and transparent approach to solving issues and continually seeks maximum input necessary for solid decision-making. He has been a progressive, inclusive Councillor who manages to “do the job” and operate a very successful, business in our community. He is a continual supporter of, and contributor to, local NGO’s with donations of time and technical expertise to their many public events.

He also chairs a very good meeting!

I’m pleased to support “Bob for Mayor” of my community.
