In November, residents will make their way to the voting booth to cast ballots for those they feel best represent their interests. Kristen Cloutier is one of those candidates, running to serve Lewiston’s House District 60 in the Maine House of Representatives.

Cloutier has been elected to serve this city for three terms as a Lewiston City Councilor, evidence that her constituents believe she best represents them. She was quickly recognized as a leader and was elected by her peers to serve as the council president for two of those terms.

I had the pleasure of serving alongside her and have personally witnessed her commitment to service many times through the years. While remaining loyal to her beliefs, she will always attempt to find middle ground in the interest of good public policy for the people living in her district.

I hope others will join me in supporting Kristen Cloutier.
