I believe that Paul Gilbert is the right choice to represent House District 87 in Augusta.

I have known him all of my life. I have had the privilege to work with him as he ran both the Rumford and Wilton CareerCenters for the state of Maine. He has firsthand knowledge and the connections needed to bring workforce investment as well as economic development opportunities together for western Maine. He served as a representative for the Maine state union for many years and worked tirelessly to represent state employees in Augusta.

He has given much of his time to our local schools, serving most recently as a volunteer to the RSU 40 planning board with Jay, Livermore and Livermore Falls to bring together the communities and school systems.

This fall I will vote for Paul Gilbert, He has demonstrated the work experience, energy and vision needed to represent Western Maine.
