We cannot think of a better representative to the Maine state Legislature than Rachel Sukeforth.

Sukeforth grew up in Litchfield and returned after college to make a difference in her home town and the towns surrounding Litchfield.

She is hard-working, bright, energetic and passionate about her work. She will work tirelessly in supporting small businesses and local industries to grow the economy; to invest in education so students have the skills to get good-paying jobs; to expand access to work-force training to attract new industries; and raise the minimum wage so that workers can support their families.

Sukeforth actually listens and cares. She is going door-to-door in the towns of Wales, Monmouth and Litchfield this fall.

I hope others will join me in voting for Rachel Sukeforth in November.
