I am voting for Madison Cook for Representative to the Maine State House of Representatives in District 39 (Belfast, Northport and Belmont).

I have known Madison since she was a fifth grade classmate of my son's at Captain Albert Stevens Elementary School. Even back then, Madison was a hard worker who was a good listener.

Since then, she has continued to prove herself as a student, a university teacher, and an architect. Last year, she returned home and began serving our community as a school board member.

Madison is a focused, hardworking person with a keen mind who logically pursues solutions to challenges. During this election, she has demonstrated her commitment to representing the people of our community by walking door to door and listening to constituents about what is on their minds. To date, she has knocked on over 1,700 citizens' doors.

If you want an intelligent, driven public servant who will work hard as your Representative in the House, you should vote for Madison Cook. If you want a representative who is dedicated to the interests of working families, the youth of Maine, and the environment where we fish, hunt, and relax, then Madison Cook is the best choice for your vote on Tuesday, November 3.
