Maine needs more people such as Dana Coffin, who is running for the Maine Legislature.

He’s sick of the “status quo,” and won’t let a party whip tell him what to do when he gets to Augusta. He’ll vote to bring responsibility back to state budgets, and tear down the frivolous barriers to wind power and other energy production.

He’ll support bringing health insurance prices in-line with those found in the rest of the country.

He knows officials have to take a closer look at how welfare is given out.

As a floorworker at Pioneer Plastics who is fed up with taxes, Coffin has a perspective that Augusta needs now.

I urge the residents of downtown Auburn to vote for Dana Coffin for state representative.
