Kent Ackley will be a fantastic state representative for House District 82 (Litchfield, Monmouth, Wales). He is a local, hard-working businessman who listens carefully, thinks independently and is a natural leader, building bridges between people with common-sense problem solving.

Not only does he have a solid footing in economics but, as a registered Maine Guide, he knows his way around the great Maine outdoors. He gets it: good ecology equals good economics.

The best thing about him? I know he will take constituent service seriously. If elected, he is the kind of guy who will work overtime to make sure people’s concerns are heard. And, because he is smart and curious, he will hit the ground running and won’t stop.

Kent Ackley has the positive “can do” spirit who will do well representing the communities, and he’ll be a tremendous asset in the State House.
