I have known Ned Claxton for the past 35 years. He co-founded and for many years co-managed Family Health Care Associates, where he was my employer. He was also my family’s physician as well as a good friend.

I have seen firsthand the wonderful care he provided his patients while in private practice and know how much he was missed when he moved on to helping train family practice residents.

He is a caring and compassionate man who is committed to his community and has great insight into the community’s problems and needs. He will listen to all sides to work toward fair solutions. He truly wants what is best for the communities he will represent.

I wholeheartedly endorse Ned Claxton in his run for the Maine State Senate and hope other voters will too.
