I wish to express my full support for John Cleveland in the race for Senate District 15, and for Bettyann Sheats in House District 68.

Cleveland offered outstanding service to the city of Auburn as mayor, as well as a former member of the Maine Senate. Currently, he owns his own small business.

Sheats has served in the U.S. Army as a helicopter pilot and is a West Point Military Academy graduate. She is well traveled and owns her own small business.

They both know the challenges that face hard-working Maine families who have suffered under the Paul LePage administration. Maine needs  voices with their background and leadership in Augusta, working hard for the people.

I hope others will join me in supporting John Cleveland and Bettyann Sheats on Nov. 6.

Larry Gilbert Jr., Auburn
