Letter to the editor: Kathleen Meil for state representative

Thu, 10/27/2016 - 11:45am

There is currently a litany of issues facing the people of Mid-Coast Maine. We live a complex and complicated time which means we need strong, smart leadership that will help solve these problems with creative solutions. When Mainers in House District 94 head to the ballot box on November 8 there is only one candidate who has the capacity to bring the fight for the people of the Midcoast to Augusta, her name is Kathleen Meil.

Kathleen has shown that she is willing to fight for important issues like education, healthcare, the economy, and our environment. By voting for Kathleen we are ensuring that our voice in Augusta truly represents the values of Camden, Islesboro, and Rockport. Kathleen is extremely qualified having worked as an educator and for a local small business, she has seen firsthand the need for economic development and understands what educators need to do their jobs effectively.

Finally, a vote for Kathleen will help ensure a democratic majority in the Maine House, acting as a check on Governor LePage and his Tea Party allies.  Please vote for Kathleen Meil on November 8.
