Republican, Democrat, Green, Independent – we can all agree – Maine will face hard challenges in the next several years. Caring for the health of my neighbors, as well as their economic well-being, are issues at the top of my list. I know many of my neighbors feel the same way. That is what makes us special as Mainers.

Seth Berry has a plan to provide health care to all Mainers at lower cost than we pay now, and a proven record of reducing high property-tax burdens as senior member of the Bowdoinham Selectboard. Berry has the experience, heritage and long-term thinking to represent my values and interests in the state legislature, whatever comes.

On Nov. 7, residents of Richmond, Bowdoin and Bowdoinham can elect a candidate who will represent their interests and values on the issues that matter to us all: Seth Berry.
