Denise Tepler is a good listener. Denise is a hard worker. I will vote for her to be our House Representative in Augusta. Denise believes Topsham is a great town. She’s thought a lot about how to make Topsham an even better place to live.

I’ve known her for over 25 years. In that time Denise has slogged through Topsham Finance Committee meetings and stepped up to be Vice Chair and Chair. We’ve enjoyed Town Meetings together. She has volunteered for a number of local town government positions. I admire her tremendously for her commitment of time and energy to our town. When she talks about budget issues, state-funding programs, property tax rates and revenue sharing; she makes sense to me. Denise wants to make sure State Government gives us our fair share!

Walking with her through our neighborhoods, we are constantly stopping to chat with the folks she has met over the years. This is when I get to see how she genuinely cares about what each of her neighbors thinks. She is passionate about local businesses; about making our schools the best they can be; and about how the hard working taxpayers in town have to stretch their dollars further and further. I’ve enjoyed her great home cooking. She turned her skill and love of local vegetables and meats into a business as a teacher and cooking coach.

On a more personal level Denise has been a long-time participant with Big Brother/ Big Sister. With her ‘little sister’ she has planted gardens, hiked trails and gone skating. She is loyal, smart, creative and funny. I am very excited to have Denise Tepler, once again step forward; this time to be our state representative.

We need Denise to stand up and fight for Topsham in Augusta.
