Letter to the editor: Ellie Goldberg has keen grasp of issues

Fri, 10/21/2016 - 8:15am

As a volunteer for Ellie Goldberg’s campaign, I now know why Ellie will be a great Representative for House District 95 (Appleton, Hope, Warren, and part of Union).

When I first started driving her door-to-door throughout the district, I was always impressed by Ellie’s keen grasp of the issues. Then I realized that Ellie knows because “She’s been there. She’s done that.”

·      Ellie’s success as a small business owner in Hope gives a first-hand experience of the economics and tax implications for business owners.

·      Ellie understands the needs of children and families because of her seventeen years as a founding member of the state-wide Maine Children’s Alliance.

·      Ellie knows how to bring us together because working with both sides of the legislative aisle is how she got things done as the Director of Maine Children’s Alliance.

Ellie’s experience gives her the ability to view the big picture clearly, and the perspective to enable her to focus clearly on an array of individual challenges.

On November 8,  I will cast my vote for Ellie Goldberg for House District 95 Representative.

I invite my neighbors to join me. You will not regret it.
