Letter to the editor: In support of Dave Miramant

Tue, 09/09/2014 - 10:15am

When I vote to elect our state legislators, I always look for the person who can best represent all the people in our district. In November, I will vote for Dave Miramant to represent state Senate District 12

As our state senator, Dave wants to change the economic stagnation brought on by the current governor and his policies. He knows it's time to support local businesses, not big out of state corporations that leave when their tax breaks end. Dave has personal experience running a small business and he understands the problems small business owners face on a daily basis.

Dave will stand up for quality education. He knows the importance of education and the sense of community that comes from sending our children to local schools. He understands that supporting education means improving the quality and effectiveness of our schools and that includes involving all the local communities in achieving that.

Finally, I'm voting for Dave because I want someone who is committed to Maine and the people of Knox County, not to some extreme national movement. Dave's involvement in our local community shows that he cares about what is going on and is willing to do something about it.

Dave is traveling around the district, and I urge you to take the time to talk with him. Find out for yourself who Dave is and for what he stands. If you do I think you'll join me this Nov. 4 to vote for Dave Miramant for state Senate.
