Lewiston needs a new voice at the State House — someone who is not part of the political machine and can offer a fresh approach to problem solving. That is why voters are so fortunate to have Patti Gagne as a candidate for Maine Senate District 21.

Gagne is a lifelong resident of the Lewiston area and her record as a business owner and public servant is more than impressive.

That is exactly what the people of Lewiston need.

She is someone who will hit the ground running on Day One as a senator. She recently told me that one of her top priorities will be working with both sides of the aisle to reduce the cost of health insurance and health care. Her knowledge of the insurance industry will serve the public well in that effort.

I endorse Patti Gagne to represent Lewiston in the Maine Senate.
