I am supporting Mark Cayer in his bid for a seat in the Maine Legislature.

During his tenure serving the city of Lewiston, his willingness to take the time to study and, more importantly, understand issues and points of view is laudable. He leads, not only with innate intelligence, but also with profound compassion. He has maintained a calm demeanor in the tempest of local politics. He has demonstrated that he serves the entire population of the city, not just his ward.

I have no doubt that he will do the same at the state level.

Mark Cayer is exactly the kind of person needed to represent Lewiston residents in Augusta.
