Rep. Lois Snowe-Mello is now a candidate for the state Senate. She has a firm record of voting for those bills that supported and reinforced the business communities. She opposed unfunded mandates, attempted to moderate excess government spending and tried to hold taxes in line.

As a conservative, she has an outstanding depth of knowledge in state and party policies, expresses herself precisely and also visualizes where changes can be made to correct and improve our government in Augusta and locally.

Her motto reflects her political sentiments which are: to listen, to heed, to help, and to lead. We need Mrs. Snowe-Mello in the Senate.
