I have known Mike Beaulieu for more than 40 years, first as a teacher, then as a colleague, neighbor and friend.

He has shown his dedication to education by teaching for 34 years and by being an administrator at Lewiston Adult Education. Nothing would bring more joy to him than the success of a struggling student or someone receiving their GED.

As a man of dedication, honesty and integrity, his open-mindedness and bipartisan approach to issues shows the same commitment to the people of Maine.

I will vote to re-elect Mike Beaulieu to the state Legislature on Nov. 6.
