On Nov. 5, I’m voting to return Anne Carney to the Maine Senate.

I know Carney to be an incredible listener who invites differing perspectives on issues. These qualities have resulted in her leadership to enact environmental protections, gun law reform, workplace safeguards and the promotion of social justice. Most of this legislation has passed with bipartisan support and, yes, some compromise. There’s still much more work to be done.

It’s not just about lawmaking. I know from personal experience that Carney is a valuable resource who helps her constituents navigate the bureaucracy in Augusta and get needed answers.

Please vote on Nov. 5, and when you do, please vote for Anne Carney as your state senator.
