Leads by Example

I feel compelled to share my personal thoughts about Dave Yaccarino and his bid for re-election to the State House of Representatives. He has been my friend since he and his brother owned and operated the Exxon station on Washington Avenue.

My closest interaction with Dave however came from our involvement with the Boy Scouts of America. As a scout father and troop leader, Dave demonstrated that he is one who leads by example. The 12 points of the Boy Scout law state: a scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.

This is a good way to describe David Yaccarino. Plain and simple, I trust Dave to be my representative at the State Capitol because I trust his integrity to guide his actions.
