I have known Heidi Brooks for more than 10 years and she would be an outstanding, caring, hardworking and honest representative for District 61 in Lewiston.

She is a strong supporter of public education and will work to ensure that the state pays its 55 percent of the costs, as voted by Maine people.

She will support the Maine state pension plan and not balance the state budget by again “picking the pockets” of retired educators and state workers.

She will work to increase the minimum wage so all Maine worker have a “living wage.”

She supports the state community colleges and university system that provide an affordable higher education system to meet the career goals of young Mainers and provide a vibrant economic future for this state.

Lewiston’s District 61 will be very well represented by Heidi Brooks, an exceptional public servant.
