I am writing today in support of a fine lady that I know has worked diligently as a four-year member of the Joint Standing Committee on Criminal Justice and Public Affairs to ensure that emergency services have all the tools that are necessary for local police, fire and rescue, emergency services.

Rep. Snowe-Mello knows that it is extremely important to properly fund essential services in order to provide critical lifesaving services for the people in our towns and cities.

As a state representative, she has taken a personal interest and has attended meetings with local fire chiefs. Whenever we have asked Rep. Snowe-Mello to help out with a local project, she has been there. Rep. Snowe-Mello has worked hard for her folks and believes in us.

I am supporting and will vote for Rep. Snowe-Mello for state Senate.
