I am writing in support of John Patrick’s re-election to the Maine Senate.

Patrick is an incredibly honest man, working very hard to help the people of Maine to support their families through good jobs that pay a living wage. As a journeyman mechanic for the paper mill in Rumford, he knows what working people go through. He also has had long experience in the Legislature, and he knows how to get things done.

He believes in the importance of small business and in investing in the innovations and infrastructure that would build a strong economy for our state.

He listens. When you talk to him, you can tell how much he cares about Maine’s people.

He believes in promoting economic opportunity through education which, to me as a former Maine adult education director, is absolutely crucial.

I will vote for John Patrick in November.
