To the editor:
Paul Johnson’s background as a life-long educator, former Bath Board of Education member and South End taxpayer, positions him well as a candidate for the Maine Legislature from House District 62 in Bath.
Paul has the energy and time, as a retired person, to devote to legislative work. His wide experience in working with others, finding reasonable solutions to difficult problems, would be a very great asset in Augusta.
Paul Johnson’s interests and concerns are many, but education is high on his list. He is naturally concerned with local educational issues as they intersect with the state’s.
He realizes that for Maine people to take advantage of the good-paying jobs that are and will be available in Maine, high quality and varied educational opportunities, such as advanced vocational, technical programs, must be available, not only for our Morse High School students, but, also for adults seeking retraining. Maine’s overflowing and more affordable community colleges are proof of this.
Bath is fortunate to have such an outstanding candidate to represent it in the state Legislature. A vote for Paul Johnson on June 12 will be a vote well-taken.
