A Maine legislator needs a breadth of knowledge and a commitment to all of the District 18 voters.

I support Lisa Keim, who will represent all Maine wage earners and numerous residents who are jobless. Her passion for education will bode well as a member of the Maine State Senate. I can envision Keim collaborating with other like-minded legislators to create cost-effective education programs. The Legislation will enhance Maine’s ability to provide a 21st century work force. An educated work force is essential to attract new businesses.

Good-paying jobs for Maine’s residents must be driven by legislators who can appreciate the potential contributions of all workers (non-union and union). Wage earners are all workers in Maine.

Keim is a good wife, mother and educator and now a spirited campaigner for the Maine Senate.

I hope the voters have an opportunity to make their individual comparisons, then vote for Lisa Keim.
