Kevin Battle, who is running for House District 33 in South Portland, has stated that “he believes in the common sense approach to government.” In 26 years as a police officer in South Portland, including time as the South Portland High school resource officer, and years in the Coast Guard, he clearly demonstrated this philosophy.

He is a clear asset to South Portland with his community activism and, if elected, will serve the city well. I urge the residents of South Portland to consider Kevin Battle for HD 33.
