I am submitting this letter in support of my daughter-in-law Kristen Cloutier, who is running for re-election to the State House representing District 94.

I think it is important for people to know who they are voting for, and Kristen takes her responsibility as an elected official very seriously. She has served in various offices, many of which were not of her choosing, but when she is needed she does what is asked.

She listens to her constituents, works hard to find ways to help them, and genuinely enjoys working with others to solve problems.  She does all of this while raising a family and maintaining a full-time job.

Kristen is an excellent role model for my granddaughter and other young women who are interested in serving their communities.

I am proud to call her “family,” and I hope those in her district to vote for her in November.
