I write in strong support of Ned Claxton for the Maine Senate. I had the opportunity to work with him for 10 years in a health-care setting. His leadership ability and willingness to hear all sides of a story made him a phenomenal physician, administrator and colleague.

Health-care issues, both affordability and access, affect all Mainers. Claxton will bring a much-needed perspective to the Legislature.

Maine needs representatives who will offer common-sense solutions and who have the ability to make decisions based on what is best for all Mainers.

Ned Claxton will admirably serve that role.
