On June 14, Saco Democrats will vote in their primary for candidates to represent them on the November ballot.

Having worked with Kathie Purdy, District 15 candidate for state representative, for close to 20 years, I’m proud to call her a friend and mentor. I’ve watched her inspire and motivate people to work together, seen her defuse difficult situations and find creative solutions and, most importantly, witnessed her take a stand against injustices.

Kathie is pro-business and understands the importance of fiscal responsibility while also supporting workers’ rights, competitive wages and affordable health care. She’s supportive of our military while also being committed to peaceful conflict resolution.

Kathie is passionate about ending the partisan gridlock in our state and seeks to bring about positive change through effective communication and leadership.

Please consider voting for this remarkable woman. I know she will be a wonderful advocate for her district.
