I write to express my support for John Patrick in his effort to win re-election to the Maine Senate.

Patrick has worked hard to represent the people of his district. He has spoken personally with an incredible number of people in order to learn their concerns. He deserves to continue to work in Augusta for the best interests of his constituents.

I hope the fact that negative campaigning has arrived here in District 18 does not confuse voters. Patrick is an honest man who cares about the people he represents. He stands up for the working folks and speaks his mind effectively.

I will be voting for John Patrick. He has an admirable record. I hope others will join me in his support.
