Rarely are people given an opportunity to vote for someone who has chosen to raise a family and start a business in the same town in which they grew up. Fortunately for the town of Sabattus, there is such a person. I will be supporting Stacy Dostie for state representative (House District 75, Sabattus/Greene).

She grew up in Sabattus and attended Sabattus schools. Today, as a small business owner in Sabattus, she has first-hand knowledge of the issues facing Maine’s entrepreneurs. The same smart, common-sense approach she uses to make her business successful is the mindset she will take to Augusta.

As a representative, she will work to improve the state’s economic, educational and employment future. She will be a great voice for Maine’s small businesses, and a great voice for the district.

I ask others to join me in supporting Stacy Dostie for District 75.
