John Patrick has been a public servant for 30 years and, in that time, he has proven his honesty and integrity.

He is proud of his record of fighting for veterans, senior citizens and working men and women. He truly cares about the issues facing the citizens of District 18 and Maine.

He will continue to help build a strong Maine economy through investment in small business, innovation and Maine’s people.

He fights for what is right. As an enthusiastic sportsman, he values Maine’s hunting and sporting traditions and supports Mainers’ Second Amendment rights. He has earned the endorsement of the Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine and was given an A+ rating for his voting record.

He will not be a rubber stamp for nationally disgraced Gov. LePage. He is willing to take on his own party when needed.

I hope others in District 18 will join in voting for John Patrick.
