I am supporting Stanley Paige Zeigler for House District 96 because he has proven himself to be extremely responsive to the concerns of his constituents. During a time when our state is faced with unprecedented challenges and schools are forced to deliver education in new technologically advanced ways, expanded access to broadband internet in rural areas of Maine is more important than ever.

I see this need first hand in my role as a speech-language pathologist providing telepractice services.

I approached Representative Zeigler and learned that he shares my concerns about the need for expanded internet access for all Maine students. He has been attending the broadband caucus since he joined the legislature 4 years ago, and has excellent ideas about a joint private and public solution. I, like many others, have grown tired of politicians who are all talk and no action.

Representative Zeigler has already proven to me time and time again that he is far more than just talk. Please join me in voting for Representative Zeigler in November so that we have an advocate who knows how to get the job done!
