Brian Hobart is the best candidate to serve House District 67, consisting of Bowdoin, Bowdoinham and Richmond. He is a man of experience, fairness and common sense.

He has the ability to listen and understand both sides of an issue in order to creatively and graciously come to the acceptable middle ground needed to move forward. This unique ability has been further enhanced by his 12 years in municipal government, as well as a small-business owner and farmer. He understands the value of education, as he obtained his degree as a nontraditional adult learner.

He has a strong work ethic and accomplishes all he sets out to do with honesty and integrity.

I am voting for Brian Hobart because he is the candidate with the diplomacy and broad knowledge base required to best serve all his constituents.

Ruthie West, Bowdoin
