I’m looking forward to casting my vote this year; a refreshing change from recent years. I’m looking forward to it because I’ll get to cast a vote for my state representative, Michael Beaulieu, who has represented District 68.

What I like about him is that he’s my neighbor, and he still acts like my neighbor. If I have a question, if I have a complaint, if I feel like discussing an issue, he’s available, and I always get the feeling that he actually does represent those of us who reside in this district.

He’s experienced, he’s qualified, and he’s a great neighbor.

I’ll support him again this year, and I urge others to do the same.
