To the Editor:
Joan Beal is a long-time advocate for her neighbors in the Oxford Hills. Through her more than 30 years in education and her wide-ranging service on local committees, she understands the strengths and needs of rural communities. Having served on both Norway’s Comprehensive Planning and Budget Committees, she knows the importance of cooperation and respect in creating a functional government that works well for the people it serves.
Joan has worked tirelessly to improve the quality of life in her corner of Maine. She is prepared to take her passion and experience to Augusta, where she will prioritize the health and sustainability of Maine communities, the equitable allocation of resources, and the rights of all citizens. I urge residents of District 81, including Albany Township, Greenwood, Mason Township, Norway, Stoneham, Stow, Sweden, and Waterford, to join me in supporting Joan Beal for the Maine House of Representatives.
