Xiarhos Receives Backing of Three Members of Sandwich Select Board

September 26, 2024

SANDWICH – Steve Xiarhos is pleased to announce that his candidacy for re-election has been endorsed by three members of the Select Board in the town of Sandwich.

Charles M. Holden, Robert J. George, and Michael J. Miller separately announced their endorsements this week for Xiarhos to serve another two-year term as State Representative for Sandwich. Holden currently serves as Chair of the Sandwich Select Board. George serves as the Board’s Vice Chair, and Miller is a member of the Board.

Former Select Board member David Sampson, who currently serves as Chair of Xiarhos’ re-election committee, said of the endorsements, “The endorsement of a majority of the members of the Select Board in the largest community he represents is quite an impressive statement. As the incumbent, it shows Rep. Xiarhos is a very effective legislator who works closely with local officials and has proven himself capable of delivering vital resources back to the 5th Barnstable District. Whether it’s helping to address regional wastewater issues, helping to secure funding for the Boardwalk, or getting resources for local transportation improvements, Steve has always been there for Sandwich whenever we need him. He always acts with the best interests of Sandwich residents in mind. There is no question in my mind that Steve is the best candidate to continue representing the people of Sandwich on Beacon Hill.”

These endorsements are the latest in a series of recent endorsements announced by the Xiarhos campaign. Other noteworthy recent endorsements include:

• Former Massachusetts Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito
• MA & Northern New England Laborers’ District Council (LIUNA)
