Voters need to send Sen. John Cleveland of Auburn back to Augusta in November.

Experience matters and there will especially be a drought of it in Maine’s next Legislature.

John knows this community, and has been active since he was attending city council meetings at a young age, before he started to work at the shoe shops at age 15.

Our area needs a senator who knows what he is doing, and who can have our backs. It’s especially important John is re-elected as our communities need a strong voice in Augusta — and not just an act.

He has a proven record of standing with the people, and has worked on making it easier to run a business in Maine. Show John we appreciate his unwavering leadership and dedication for our communities.
