As the former three-term state representative for Richmond, Bowdoin and Bowdoinham, I fully understand what it takes to be an effective legislator in Augusta.

Seth Berry has the personal qualifications, experience and commitment that will make him a successful advocate for the people and issues in these towns. He has run a positive campaign and has worked hard to visit as many homes as possible so as to better understand the issues of concern to residents.

Seth Berry will serve us well in Augusta, and I will be voting for him on Election Day.

David C. Shiah, Bowdoinham
