Voters of District 87 (Chesterville, Jay, Mercer and Starks) have a real choice in November.

I will be voting for a candidate who represents the “American dream.” One who has known what it means to work hard and strive for success — personally, professionally and, now, politically.

A candidate who will represent the folks who elect him, not just the inside politics of Augusta.

A candidate who is a fantastic citizen, friend and who was born, brought up in and always lived in the district.

A candidate who is a fresh face to replace the good old politics in Maine.

A candidate who believes in people first, not who believes in government first.

A candidate who will truly make a difference to help people emerge from the recession and from the politics that produced these tough times.

A candidate who believes in family.

I am voting for Tony Couture.

Bob Jenkins, Jay
