I’m currently a sophomore in college, and have benefitted from having Byron Watson as a coach, mentor, and dedicated volunteer. There aren’t many candidates out there that can say they’ve helped a perfect stranger get into college and thrive as a person. I need to make sure that the voters of District 51 understand what a positive impact Byron has had on my life, and how he will also make a great impact on theirs.

First of all, Byron Watson is the only local candidate in the race. Byron didn’t just move here with no knowledge of our local needs. He was born and raised in the area, so he knows what is best for his district and his fellow locals. Also, Byron has been ready since day 1 to work across the aisle to ensure our needs are addressed. Byron is a firm believer in the power of the people, and understands life as a member of the working class.

I not only encourage you to vote for Byron Watson, I encourage you to forward this letter to your friends and neighbors. My family is unconditionally supporting Byron so that Maine’s older and younger generations can have a future to look forward to in this beautiful place we call home.
