It is time for the Maine Legislature to return to the business of passing legislation that improves the quality of life for all Mainers and does not favor the interests of a few.

We need candidates who are on the side of working people, seniors, our children, and all those struggling to keep their heads above water.

Fortunately, Senate District 15 has such a candidate.

John Cleveland has the experience to move this vital agenda forward, having served successfully as Auburn mayor and city councilor, SD15 state senator, and as a small business owner working to bring jobs and economic development to the area.

He will fight on our behalf to rebuild a high-wage economy, restore funding to schools and higher education to provide a pathway to success for our young people, and protect our environment from those who would ravage it for the sake of quick profits.
