It has been a real honor to serve alongside Gina Melaragno in the State House. She is a strong and passionate representative for her district.

She is a leading voice for paying a living wage to working men and women and she fights tirelessly to ensure that they get a fair deal in return for hard work.

What strikes me most about her is that she is genuine, honest and committed. She says what she believes, and she stands by what she says. She is someone who people can depend on to be straightforward about what she intends to do on her constituents’ behalf as their representative in Augusta, and to stand firm by shared values.

I believe that Gina Melaragno’s commitment and skills are a real asset to the people of Auburn and that they would be well served to send her back to the State House.

Rep. Jared Golden, Lewiston
