State Sen. Lois Snowe-Mello, representing Auburn, Durham, New Gloucester and Poland, continues to be a powerful advocate for taxpayers in Augusta.

Lois has never voted for a tax increase during her 10 years in the Legislature. She knows high taxes like ours make it difficult for working families to afford things they need, as well as harms the economy. She holds those who would vote to raise our taxes accountable. Lois is an active part of our community, and is always willing to help us, her constituents.

Those of us seeking tax relief and accountability have an ally in Sen. Snowe-Mello. She has my vote Nov. 7.
