During his last term in the Maine Senate, Barry Hobbins served as his party’s Senate leader. He demonstrated his ability to work with senators from all parts of Maine, regardless of their party affiliation. He gets things done by working collaboratively. He has a remarkable ability to stand his ground without being confrontational.
I have been a registered Republican for many years. I very seldom write letters to the editor, but I urge the registered Democrats of Saco, Old Orchard Beach, Buxton, Hollis and Limington to vote for Barry Hobbins on June 14 so that we may again benefit from the tireless, conscientious and effective representation he has given us in the past.
