The residents of District 61 are so fortunate to have an individual such as Michael Lachance running for office. Not only is he caring, hard-working, dedicated and honest, but he has a proven track record.

As a former city councilor, Lachance put all of his energy into working for the betterment of his constituents and never stopped to contemplate whether or not the issue was popular. He reviewed all the facts and depended on his common sense prior to casting his vote. His priorities were the people he represented and their needs.

I hope others will join me in voting for Michael Lachance and finally giving Lewiston a strong voice in Augusta.
