Dr. Sean McGlynn, ORSWCD Supervisor, Group I, "Thure is a diligent and motivated supervisor. He is a man of great integrity and a wonderful asset for our community.”

Scott Matteo, ORSWCD Supervisor, Group II, "Thure’s positive attributes have played contributed to the Board’s significant past successes. I firmly believe that the Board will be able to more effectively parlay past successes to successes on the next level with Thure’s continued participation."

Yasmee Barnes-Nkrumah, ORSWCD Supervisor, Group IV, "I have worked with Mr. Caire on the ORSWCD since 2004, and I am very impressed with his work ethic and dedication to the board... Thure spear-headed the Fred George Basin Resolution and has continuously proven his dedication to the environment and well being of Leon County."

Blas Gomez, ORSWCD Supervisor, Group V, "I know Thurie to be of the finest character and moral values. His participation on the District's Board has added enthusiasm and experience, especially on issues related to water and soil protection and preservation. He's definitively the best candidate for the office, and the community will continue to benefit from his invaluable contributions."

Former Supervisors Endorsements:

Herman Holley, "The Ochlockonee River Soil and Water Conservation Board would be fortunate to gain Thure Caire as a member. His experience and enthusiasm would help The Board deal with some important tasks."
Preston Robertson, "Mr. Caire is a dedicated conservationist and community activist who clearly sees the need for better stewardship for the lands and waters in Leon County."
Jorge Southworth, "Thure has a strong background in water management issues having worked for federal and local governments as well as for the private sector on soil and water management issues. He was raised on a small farm and is familiar with issues faced by local farmers."
Kim O'Connor, "I have been personally impressed with Thure's commitment to outreach in the community through his position in planning, developing and implementing Rain Garden projects."
Michael Miller, "As a former two-time supervisor on the Ochlockonee River Soil and Water Conservation Board, I've had the opportunity to work with a number of well-qualified board members. However, Thure's experience, training and background greatly exceed that of anyone I know who has served on the board and uniquely qualify him for the position."
