I am writing this letter of support for Calvin Holland, candidate for the Augusta Commission seat for District 5.

Mr. Holland, or "Coach" Holland, as he is called by those who have known him for years, is a man of the people. He enjoys people and has worked effortlessly to help those in his community. I, along with many others, have called upon him for help and advice about issues affecting our lives.

He has been a member of this community for many years and has worked diligently along side others to make Augusta a great place to live. He expresses love and concern for the young people in our community and that is shown in those students that have kept in touch with him over the years.

Mr. Holland has served in a leadership capacity as an educator and in his church. As an educator/principal, he inspired students to believe in themselves and work hard. In his church, wherever placed, he worked diligently. He is a family man he has a beautiful wife and two wonderful children that respect and love him deeply.

A dependable, hardworking man such as Calvin "Coach" Holland is what is needed to work with and for the people of Augusta.
