I have known John Cleveland since the 1980s. His leadership skills as the mayor of the great city of Auburn got the city through some rough times. He has always put the taxpayers’ needs first.

His personality is such that he can bring people together and get problems and issues resolved.

As state Senator, he worked across the table with Republicans and Democrats and independents and got the job done.

He is a faithful public servant who works hard. He always has and always will put the needs of the taxpayers of his district first.

His work ethic is a credit to his peers in Augusta. He is a leader and problem-solver who is well respected on both sides of the aisle. He knows how to compromise and work out issues in the best interests of the people in his district.

I support John Cleveland for state Senate, District 15.
