Three weeks ago, at an exciting event in Auburn, Laurel Libby declared her candidacy for re-election to the state House of Representatives in front of hundreds of friends and supporters.

I, for one, am grateful she has chosen to run again.

Laurel has common sense, is fiscally responsible, and listens to those in her district. She also takes time to keep us informed about the happenings in Augusta.

Most of all, I appreciate that she is a mom of five and understands the challenges facing young families today.

I am confident she will stand up for parents’ rights and will vigorously fight government infringement on those rights. Laurel Libby has my back.
