A Vote For Senator Patrick

On November 4^th, I’m proudly going to cast my vote to re-elect Senator John Patrick of Rumford.

I’ve had the distinct pleasure of serving alongside Senator Patrick in Augusta, where he advocates tirelessly on behalf of workers and our way of life here in the River Valley. However, where John is truly at home is going door-to-door and speaking directly with voters. I’ve visited thousands of doors with John over the years and witnessed firsthand how dedicated he is to listening and learning about the important issues that impact people in their day-to-day lives. He is compassionate, engaged, and truly cares about the future of our community.

At the ballot box this year we’re faced with several challenging decisions. One choice is clear. I encourage everyone to join with me in supporting Senator John Patrick for re-election.
