I have known Michael Beaulieu of Auburn as a teacher, coach, mentor and a friend for 35-plus years. He made a difference as a teacher, knowing his subject matter as well as he knew his students, always challenging, always inspiring, always motivating.

Even though he is just a few years older than I, he’s still Mr. Beaulieu to me, such as is my respect for the man.

As a candidate for District 68, he will serve tirelessly and will have the utmost respect for the position.

I know he will serve the people of District 68 well, as he has served and inspired the youth of the community.
