This November, I am voting to re-elect Eric Brakey to the Maine Senate for Auburn, New Gloucester, Poland, Minot and Mechanic Falls. Why? Because it is important to me to have a dedicated, hardworking person representing me in Augusta.

Brakey was first elected two years ago. While he is the youngest state senator in Maine, he has also proven himself as one of the hardest-working legislators in Augusta.

He listens to his constituents and takes action on the changes they want to see. He is always willing to tackle the difficult issues and always focuses on helping his constituents.

I admire Brakey for how much he cares about helping the people he hears from in the community. More people like him are needed in Augusta.

I hope others will join me and send Sen. Eric Brakey back to Augusta for two more years.
