I met Lisa Keim a few years ago and was very impressed. She is the kind of person that people want to know better; the kind of person who people will be thrilled to have representing them in Augusta. She is down-to-earth, genuine, smart and caring.

I am tired of politicians, especially the greedy, self-serving ones. I believe that Mainers want someone representing them in the state Senate who, like Keim, cares about the people’s problems and understands what it is like to be a mother, wife and active community member.

Keim is exactly the kind of change that Augusta needs.

I will be voting for Lisa Keim for the state Senate (District 18), and I hope others will join me in voting for her, too.
