From 2006 to 2010, the citizens of District 96 were represented by Larry Sirois. We are writing to endorse his campaign to return to the Maine House of Representatives because of his effectiveness during those years.

Each year, his constituents could count on his coming to their homes to listen to their concerns, not to tell them what they should think.

His votes were based on what he heard — what was best for the citizens he served.

That approach has not been used during the two years since he left the House.

We hope we can turn to Larry Sirois again and elect a true representative of the people.

Ray and Linda Parkin, Turner
