Finance committee recommends David H. Leach for Board of Canvassers appointment
Summary
The committee voted to recommend City Council approval of Mayor’s appointment of David H. Leach to the board of canvassers after the nominee described community work and his interest in increasing civic participation.
The Providence Finance Committee voted to recommend that the full City Council approve the mayor’s appointment of David H. Leach to the Board of Canvassers.
A mayoral communication in the meeting packet said the appointment was made pursuant to the city charter and named the appointee; David H. Leach was sworn in before the committee, described his long ties to Providence and his community and nonprofit involvement, and said he wanted to use the position to help increase voter participation. Several councilors offered support; one councilor noted strong personal endorsement from another member of the council. After brief comments the committee moved and voted to recommend approval of the appointment to the full council.
The matter will appear on the full City Council agenda for formal confirmation.
