As a resident of Alfred and voter in District 21, I am casting my vote for Heidi Sampson. Heidi is the epitome of the ideal representative of the people. She is intelligent, honest, and cares about all the residents in the community. She will truly put Represent into the title Representative.

A mother of three and grandmother of two, Heidi knows firsthand the education challenges as the first in the nation homeschooler appointed to the Maine State Board of Education. A former research scientist at Wood’s Hole Oceanographic Institution & New England Aquarium and founder of Fun O’Fit, a nationally adopted children’s program, Heidi has more recently focused on directly assisting parents and students as a ski school director, coach, Sunday school teacher and leader of a homeschool support group.

As a small business owner and farmer, Heidi also knows the challenges facing all the hardworking taxpayers in District 21, and will take that knowledge to Augusta to work on our behalf. Results oriented, Heidi has the experience and expertise to be the effective leader we need in the State House, and I ask that on Nov. 8, you join me in voting for Heidi Sampson to be the next state Representative for District 21.
