Testimonials

I want to share something that few people know about because it's not Chuck's way to go on about much of the work he does behind the scenes that has been really making a positive impact. Over the past few months, Chuck has been sponsoring a number of concerts local teens have been putting on throughout the Windsor area. With funding from Chuck to help out with hall rental when needed, these kids have been able to put on some great shows that have featured local talent and it's given the kids something to get excited about. More important, it has meant a lot to the teens to know that someone like Chuck believes in them and is willing to support them. These teens will go on to do great things and be the ones who'll give back to our community in the future the way Chuck does now. It hasn't been for votes (obviously! these kids are all too young to vote) -- it's because he believes in what the kids are doing.

"When the nomination meeting to select a successor for Ron Russell was held, I did not know Chuck Porter. However, the person I was sitting with recommended him highly, so I voted for him and have not been disappointed. He's doing a great job at getting himself out there and getting things done."

We have known Chuck for approximately 25 years. We know Chuck to be hard-working, loyal, dedicated and honest.  He has been a breath of fresh air to many of us as Chuck is not your typical politician.  Chuck and his wife have lived and worked in West Hants most all their adult lives and he knows the struggles and challenges most working citizens face, as he has worked hand-in-hand and side-by-side with many of us for many years.  From our own experience, we were faced with some ongoing, devastating news last fall. Chuck was one of the first people to call, visit and lend a helping hand, not just in words, but he regularly checked in with us, offered much help and support to us, and we often came home from hospital trips to find flowers, cards and casseroles from Chuck and Leslie.  We believe Chuck possesses and exhibits the strong traits of a true leader--the ability to genuinely care about the needs and concerns of his fellow citizens, and then to act on their behalf.  We are not ashamed to say that we both broke a century-old family tradition and voted PC for the first time for Chuck when he ran in 2006, because we believed in him and he has not disappointed us!
