I'm amazed at level of dedication Andrew Hosmer brings to the job

To The Daily Sun,

State Sen. Andrew Hosmer is a man of integrity

The dictionary defines integrity as: The quality of being honest and having strong moral principles. My personal definition: What a person does when no one is looking. Senator Andrew Hosmer exemplifies integrity. While no one has been looking he has gone above and beyond.

As we all know, there is an opioid epidemic tearing at the fiber of our communities, our families, and for some their very lives. We hear so often our trusted government servants using the epidemic in their speeches and their campaigns, but where the rubber meets the road they are nowhere to be found.

This is where Andrew separates himself from the others. I have personally seen him commit his time and energy to addressing the opioid crisis in New Hampshire. He actively participates in local efforts, bringing his great skills of intellect and vision. But most of all, he brings his compassion and integrity.

On a personal note, I am a person in long-term recovery who has been part of the efforts to bring recovery support services to the area. I continue to be amazed at the level of dedication and kindness Andrew brings to this cause. He has also become a friend who truly wants to see me and others like me succeed. I see this man in his regular life be a great leader, father, husband, and friend.

Part of being in the recovery process from a substance use disorder is reshaping our broken lives and looking to examples of honesty and good character to model our lives after. I have found this in Senator Hosmer, my friend and a man of integrity.
