Press Release: SAM Endorses Rep. Peterson

The Sportsman's Alliance of Maine's PAC has endorsed Representative Matt Peterson in his bid for re-election to represent District 92 in the Maine Legislature.

The Sportsman's Alliance of Maine is a non-profit membership organization with 15,000 members and is the largest conservation organization in the state. SAM advocates for hunters and other outdoor sports enthusiasts before the Legislature.

Commenting on this prestigious endorsement, Representative Peterson said: "I’ve grown up in the River Valley, where hunting, fishing and boating are all integral to the lives of so many people -- including my own family. We live in a beautiful part of the state and I remain committed to preserving the natural resources of the area and to ensuring access for sports men and women who contribute to our economy.”

"We will be facing many difficult choices in the upcoming Legislative session and the pressures on our budget will be intense,” Peterson said. “Given those pressures, I will pay particular attention to the bills pertaining to our outdoor recreation and sporting heritage including -- the Inland Fisheries & Wildlife budget, milfoil prevention, firearms safety education, fish hatcheries and access to stocked waterways."

Matt Peterson is running for re-election to the House of Representatives for District 92 which includes Andover, Byron, Roxbury, Rumford, Weld and Plantations of Rangeley and Sandy River, plus the unorganized territories of West Central Franklin and Madrid Township.
