I’m pleased to offer my support to David Woodsome, a candidate for re-election to state Senate District 33 covering the towns of Cornish, Limerick, Newfield, Parsonsfield, part of Sanford, Shapleigh and Waterboro.

Dave has done a tremendous job working for us for the past two years, spending hours working with his constituents from one corner of the Senate district to the other.

He has been recognized as the Legislator of the Year by the Maine American Legion for his relentless work for our veterans. He applies the same passion of helping people to everything he does.

I have had the pleasure of working with David for the past several years while he served on various committees and boards, which included serving as a member of the Waterboro Board of Selectmen.

David is independent, and one who approaches issues with common sense while attempting to do what he feels is right for his constituents. This is the kind of leader we need in Augusta, not one that just follows the political whim of a few.

He doesn’t over-react with emotions. He is grounded, hardworking and conscientious, always weighs the pros and cons of each issue that he faces, and makes practical decisions.

It’s with a great deal of respect that I support David, one of the hardest-working legislators in Maine. He deserves to return to August for another two years.
