It was recently reported that Jason Levesque, a candidate for Congress, had his driver's license suspended — again. The state uses suspension to get a driver's attention, but evidently that doesn’t work with Levesque, since this is his third suspension, with 11 traffic convictions since 2000.
Levesque says his driving record is “irrelevant,” that Mainers don’t care. Well, I care; I have to share the road with him.
More important, he evidently feels that the traffic laws are made for other people to follow. Rules are for the other guy.
Now he wants to go to Washington and make the rules. A person who writes the laws should follow them himself. All of them.
The other candidate for Congress, Mike Michaud, has proven himself as a real stand-up guy, both in Maine and in Washington. That’s who I’m going to vote for.

If Levesque
Can't even respect motor vehicle law, how can he be expected to run the state? I bet you anything if his business was audited we would find numerous instances of tax fraud and violations of workplace ordinances. He's not fit to be running a business, let alone running for governor!

If Jason Levesque was Running for Governor I would definitely VOTE For him. Unfortunately I can't Because he is running For Congress in Maine vast 2nd district, To Replace Mike Michaud, The out of touch lap dog of Nancy Pelosi!!! For me living in Maine's 1st district I get the pleasure of voting to oust Chellie Pingree and send Dean Scontras to congress!!! It's time for some fresh ideas and new faces that will represent US not their own interests!! Mike is a party yes man who thinks Nancy Pelosi is his BOSS!! Pingree seems to only be interested in making sure her Billionaire boy friend gets Federal bailout money, screwing the people of Maine!! Mike and Chellie YOUR FIRED!!!!!! Mainers want Congressmen that WORK FOR US!!!!

Mike is a great guy, and does an outstanding job, works extremely hard, always the first in to work and last to leave, he is the most honorable man I know, he DOES NOT have a driver 99% of the time, he has put more then 80,000 miles on in the last 3 yrs alone, which is alot considering he is in Dc during the week.
If there is another person going to an event they will drive and Mike is reading about his next event, or a letter a constituent gave him or a Bill being introduced, or signing every letter personally that people send him. He never waists a minute of his time.
I know when people are just trying to be hurtful and do not know what they are talking about because if you knew Mike, you would NEVER say some of the foolish things said, such as "mbthedragon,, we have is a choice between two buffoons".
you sir, do not know Mike! and frankly do not deserve to, but knowing Mike he will treat you with amazing respect regardless of your childish point of view.

Once again, the problem we have is a choice between two buffoons. Decent and honest people do not run for congress any more.

Yeah...Mike's a real "stand up" guy. He's always standing up for whatever Nancy Pelosi wants as opposed to us Mainers. As for being concerned about laws only applying to the "little guy," Mike agrees with that, too. He voted to give all of US a health care plan that HE won't take for himself. He prefers that posh health care plan that Congress gets...paid for by my tax dollars. I'd much rather "share" the road with Levesque than "share" my tax dollars with Michaud.

Sure we all get frustrated with people that drive poorly on the road. Mr. Michaud has had a driver for years, (which we pay for, by the way), so seldom he needs to drive himself anywhere.
Mr. Michaud is a nice person, no doubt. But he has voted 96% of the time with Ms. Pelosi that has no concern for our needs in Maine. It is hard to ignore that fact.
