I am writing in support of Ned Claxton’s candidacy for Maine state Senate.

As a recently retired small business owner, I am impressed with Claxton’s positions on small business start-ups and job growth here in Maine. I admire his willingness to listen and be open-minded about ways to serve entrepreneurs’ needs while providing fair balance to the needs of employees, especially in health care and wages.

Understanding both sides of an issue is something Claxton knows well from his many years of experience in a medical office in the community.

A vote for Ned Claxton is a vote for a stronger Maine for everyone.
