I will not be voting for Marty Nohe this Saturday. I cannot. I do not live in his district. Perhaps it is for this reason that this blog provides an endorsement.
Marty is just a decent guy. He tries to help any resident of Prince William County without regard to party or ideology. In fact, Marty seems to be driven by decency and doing the right thing more than any ideology. It was Marty who put a voice of reason on the immigration wars right here in Prince William County. It was the right thing to do.
Marty has helped my family out several times over issues. He and his wife didn’t have to spend hours on the phone with me giving me some much needed information and sought after advice, but they did. They are givers, not takers.
He has helped out the Sudley community when boundary lines split up neighborhoods when the last magisterial districts were drawn. I was sorry I didn’t end up in his district. I am even more sorry now. He provides park activities for neighborhoods and especially pays close attention to those neighborhoods where families might not have quite as much. Marty is keenly aware of such things.
Marty is very much a family man. He walks the walk in that regard. Just a glance at his Facebook page shows his level of involvement with his own kids. He also tries to provide opportunities for other folks’ children.
Marty has also turned the other cheek from some of the viciousness and disrespect shown to him by some of the local blogs. That takes a big man to do that. Very few of us could withstand some of the vitriol that has been thrown his way with the dignity and good humor shown by Supervisor Nohe.
Go Marty go! May the force be with you.
