I will be voting on Nov. 8 to re-elect state Sen. John Patrick. I have known Sen. Patrick for many years as a friend and can attest he is the rare breed of politician who is dedicated to his principals and constituents. He has proven his commitment to the elderly, working families and the people of Maine and is recognized for his accomplishments.

Sen. Patrick is a legislator who gets things done, works well with all parties and is always willing to listen and learn. He is frank, direct and always willing to speak his mind, even on “unpopular” issues.

John Patrick deserves support. I hope others will join in voting for him on Nov. 8.
