Local business owner, medical doctor, community volunteer: I can't think of a more qualified candidate for Maine House District 91 than Emily Trask-Eaton of Waldoboro.

I've known Emmy for decades, and she holds the kind of values that I think most of us consider important in someone we elect to represent us. She is well-informed on issues, thoughtful and motivated. This is a woman who, after owning and operating the Waldoboro 5 & 10 for many years, decided to apply to medical school and become a family physician. She graduated from the University of New England's medical school in Biddeford, and came home to treat patients with care, skill and respect.

Emmy will bring these values to the Legislature, and she will listen well to the people of Friendship, Union, Washington and Waldoboro. She believes in strong communities, in families, education, a healthy environment and a thriving economy. She believes in public service. 

Sometimes, a woman's place is in the house. Let's send Emily Trask-Eaton to the Maine House of Representatives in Augusta.
