I started when I was 13 and have been politically active for 65 years.
For many years I remained a Republican but as they moved right, I became an Independent. As I saw that the Democratic philosophies, policies and values were more in tune with my beliefs, I became a Democrat.
But, seldom have I been able to so eagerly support the entire Democratic ticket. Today, this election, I can.
Mike Michaud, is a proven force for results with dignity, Shenna Bellows is passionate and successful, Chellie Pingree the most no nonsense, Eloise Vitelli the hardest working, Peter Kent, the visionary and all of them bright, dedicated to Maine and believers in the issues I support….. health insurance, fair wages & taxation, growth of small businesses, farms and fishing, our environment and education.
What a relief to be able to vote for them all!
