Congratulations to all the volunteers in our community that give back. While I may have been voted Best Volunteer, but each person who volunteers in the community and gives of their time is the BEST. . . regardless if they were nominated or not.

People volunteer, not because they have nothing better to do, but they choose to do better.

Peter Abbarno, Candidate for the State House of Representatives in the 20th Legislative District.

Abbarno was nominated “best volunteer” and “best elected official” for the past 5 years. In 2018, Peter was also voted “best volunteer” and voted “best elected official” in 2019. In 2020, Peter was named “Person of the Year” by the Daily Chronicle Editorial Board.

Volunteerism is one of the most selfless acts that we can become involved in and once you get started, and you see the difference, it changes you – as much as it changes your community.

Peter Abbarno, Candidate for the State House of Representatives in the 20th Legislative District.
