John Cleveland is on our side.

He will be the senator for New Gloucester, Durham, Poland and Auburn who keeps those communities strong. He is a prudent manager who has experience making tough decisions about how government can most wisely help strengthen small business, support good education, build safe roads, ensure decent health care and keep taxes fair.

He will stand against the shadowy selfish interests of out-of-state money in this election and ensure that the voices of working men and women are represented in Augusta.

Working hard, holding to his principles, yet open to new ideas, collaborating to get the job done — John Cleveland understands the way life should be in Maine: fair and prosperous for all.
