Christian Hartley and Ruth Wood have previously praised Tam Boeve in this publication, and I agree with every word they wrote. She is a real asset as the Mat-Su Borough Assembly representative for District 7, and I, too, hope she will be re-elected to that seat.
Tam Boeve was a good friend, neighbor, and community leader for decades before she stepped up to serve on the Assembly, so I’m not surprised that she’s done a great job representing her district, and the rest of us, as well, on matters that affect the entire Borough, like the budget.
She puts in a lot of time and effort engaging with the public, regularly attending Community Council and other relevant meetings, while remaining accessible to hear concerns and answer questions. On top of that, she is still serving as an active member of several community groups, so she knows what’s going on first-hand.
Tam’s been there helping, through major fires, floods, and earthquakes, and just recently was gathering some quick assistance for a local family that lost their home. She is exactly the kind of person you want around when there’s trouble, the kind that actually shows up, with the right tools and supplies to be useful, and that doesn’t hesitate a second to pitch in where extra hands are needed.
Tam is observant, a good listener, smart, practical, and a problem solver who knows how to bring people and resources together to get things done. Let’s keep her working for us on the Mat-Su Borough Assembly.
