I write in support of Bruce Hanley’s candidacy for the state House of Representatives from the 94th District.

Having raised his family in the town of Paris, Bruce has the fortune of having three of his four sons still living close to their childhood home. This is not the norm in Maine or the Oxford Hills as we consistently export our youth and our nuclear families to other parts of New England and across the country.

Bruce is sincerely worried about the direction our state is currently going. He has seen hundreds of friends and thousands of others lose manufacturing jobs in our state as our taxes and economic policies continually penalize businesses throughout the state and make neighboring states, and even other countries, look more attractive to our new, or even current, business leaders.

I will be supporting Maine’s future by voting for Bruce Hanley on Nov. 2.
