I am writing in Madison Cook for RSU 71 School Board and you should too! 

Madison Cook is the fresh, forward-thinking voice our community needs on the RSU 71 School Board.

As a Director at Maine Youth Power, I spend my days building social power with high school and college-aged students, working for a just and livable future for young Mainers. We need leaders like Madison, who are committed to including the next generation in shaping decisions that affect them.

I’ve been inspired by the campaign Madison has built as a write-in candidate. Her work shows how young people can step up, organize, and make a real impact. Madison has shared with me that she intends to lead in a way that engages students to bring their ideas and dreams forward. She is committed to helping more youth take on leadership roles across the Belfast community.

Madison demonstrates that Mainers don’t have to leave the state to find opportunity — they can make a difference and hold power right here at home. 

I am proud to cast my write-in vote for Madison Cook this November 4, and I encourage others to do the same!
