I have known Eric Brakey for about three years. Brakey is a candidate for the Maine Senate and I consider the state fortunate to have him.

He cares about people’s concerns, but even more, he cares about the Constitution and what it really says. He faithfully attends town meetings and meetings that are a concern to his future constituents.

We need more people like Eric Brakey in office. People willing to meet, listen and get to know us. People who care about our opinions.

John Cleveland has consistently voted against the interests and constitutional requirements of his constituents. Sen. Cleveland doesn’t appear to care enough to meet people so why would I think he cares about what people want?

We are fortunate to have Eric Brakey working so hard for us and I am confident he will continue to work for his constituents in Augusta after he is elected.
