I am supporting the re-election of Stacy Dostie for state representative in District 75, Greene and Sabattus. She knows the people of the area. She has lived most of her life here and has personally experienced the challenges that residents face on a daily basis.

She is self-employed and knows the struggles that independent business owners confront at a time of deep recession.

This is an important election year and Maine must put its house in order to help the economy grow. Dostie is a voice of moderation who will play a constructive role in the necessary process of realignment so that budgetary shortfalls are eliminated and service delivery from Augusta is streamlined.

Dostie can play that role at the state level while effectively serving District 75.

In these tough times, we need leaders we can trust in Augusta.

I trust Stacy Dostie.
