I have known John Cleveland for more than 50 years. I believe him to be the right leadership for the Maine Senate.

Residents are fortunate to have him watching out for all of us. He has seen this state’s ups and downs, and knows what Mainers need. That is why he has been able to make the tough choices to protect what is important.

One thing I know for sure is that he will never embarrass Maine residents, will never hurt Mainers with outrageous statements and will always work toward whatever is good for Mainers.

He was an outstanding Auburn mayor and continues to be involved in the community.

He is the consummate professional and I strongly support John Cleveland to continue his good work in the Maine Senate. I will support him on Nov. 4.
