I have not seen one campaign sign for Democrats vandalized in more than 12,000 miles of traveling around Oxford County since July 9. My signs in particular, and other signs for Republican candidates, have been taken from key locations with Democratic signs “mystically” manifesting themselves in the same place.

My signs are being taken out of the 32 towns of District 18 at a rate of as many as 30 a day. At that rate, my signs will all be picked up by Election Day.

Do signs alone win elections. I don’t think so.

Anyway, thank you for the kind help getting my signs picked up ahead of time.

Joe Martin, Rumford, Senate candidate for District 18.
