I first met Lisa Keim when she came to my house in Rumford earlier this month. She told me how she tries to go door-to-door to listen to the residents of Senate District 18. It was a pleasure to talk to her and listen to her priorities if she is elected. Particularly, I like how she understands the importance of the elderly, children and veterans.

Maine’s elderly deserve all the respect that can be afforded to them. The children are the future — people have an obligation to provide a safe and secure place for them to live. And none of us would be here if it weren’t for the veterans.

Keim understands and will keep those people first and foremost in her mind. Because she does, I will be proud to cast my vote for Lisa Keim for Maine Senate District 18.
