I am writing in support of Dennise Whitley, the Democratic candidate for Maine State Senate in District 13, including Oxford Hills towns, southern Oxford County and the Bridgton area.

A native of Norway, Whitley recently retired as a director of governmental affairs for the American Heart Association and is looking forward to bringing her energy and knowledge of state government full time to the service of her district.

She is deeply committed to economic development and jobs, as well as health care.

She knows the meaning of bipartisanship and is a good listener, as well as a strong advocate.

She is visiting voters throughout the district.

District 13 deserves a strong voice and a representative who will work tirelessly for working families and seniors.

A vote for Dennise Whitley is a great investment for the future of this region.
