State Rep. Deb Simpson has done a superior job in Augusta. She voted to cut taxes and worked to improve our roads in order to encourage new businesses to come to Auburn.

She voted to raise the minimum wage; voted to allow consumers to get cash back if gift cards have a balance of less than $5; and defended health care programs for workers, children and seniors.

She knows how difficult it is to make a living and support a family, so she knows, first hand, how hard all of us struggle to make ends meet.

With the ecomonic problems that Maine is facing, people need her in the senate now more than ever.

She is honest, dedicated and a hard worker.

I am proud to say I will vote for her to fill the Senate District 15 seat.

Mary Roussel, Auburn
