I am writing in support of James Bradley for state representative for Mechanic Falls, Otisfield and Oxford.

Bradley has almost two decades of experience working on behalf of Maine workers and their families as a union leader in the University of Maine System. He understands the struggles that workers in Maine face to pay the bills and support their families.

The greatest challenge facing Maine is the partisan gridlock in Augusta that prevents real progress. He will work with Democrats and Republicans to make meaningful progress on issues such as welfare and tax reform, investing in education, jobs and economic development, and standing up for seniors and veterans by fighting to preserve the services they have earned.

Voters have to stop sending the same people to Augusta and expecting things to change.

For real change, send a real leader to Augusta. James Bradley is the new leadership Maine needs.
