As a Buxton resident I am asking others to vote for Amy Volk on Tuesday Nov. 8.  Amy is our senator for Gorham, Buxton and Scarborough, and recently received an A-grade endorsement from the Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine and that is important to me. As long as I can remember I have been enjoying the Maine woods, lakes and ponds. Whether I am fishing for bass with my grandson or hunting deer with my daughter, the Maine outdoors has been a part of my family’s life.

Amy Volk also has a long family tradition tied to Maine sportsmen. Her family has spent many years hunting and fishing from their camp in northern Maine. She gets it and her record in Augusta defending fishing and hunting rights proves that she understands my concerns. What I like most about Amy’s positions on hunting and fishing legislation is that she strives to understand the issues instead of mindlessly voting on party line or stubborn ideology. There have been many occasions in the past six years that Sen. Volk called me to ask me my opinion about upcoming legislation, and I know she has reached out to others as well. Most politicians want to just tell you what you should think, but Amy Volk takes the time to ask her constituents what it is we think about important decisions she is facing. That is very rare and exactly what we need representing us in the Maine Senate. On Nov. 8, I urge you to vote for Amy Volk.
