I endorse Tina Riley for representative of Jay, Livermore Falls and parts of Livermore.

Riley is a very intelligent and self-driven professional who will do her best for her constituents. As a master electrician, she has been a business owner and worked at the paper mill in Rumford. She understands the need to keep good-paying jobs in her towns to strengthen the economy.

She is kind, compassionate and sincere, and it is very apparent that she values the opportunities that a good education brings. She loves to see children succeed and is especially proud of the high school’s SMART robotics team, of which she is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable mentor.

She is a great choice to represent this district because she is one of us. She values our local schools and communities; she will advocate for education and to keep paper mills viable.

I will support Tina Riley on Nov. 8.

Sarah Delaney, Livermore
