It is election time again and the proudest check-off I will make in the voting booth will be to elect Lois Snowe-Mello to the state Senate.

We have been represented very well in Poland and surrounding communities by having Lois as our state representative. Lois has decided to take it up a notch and do her good work in the Senate. She truly deserves our support as she has worked diligently to look out for the people of her district.

Lois is a true patriot, loves her country, her state and her district. She brings such a common-sense approach to politics and casts foolishness aside, which is so prevalent in today’s politics.

Lois is steadfast, compassionate and has the conviction of her decisions. You don’t get any flip-flopping from her. We need to keep Lois Snowe-Mello in Augusta.
