I write in support of Rep. Kristen Cloutier in her candidacy for the Maine House of Representatives, District 94.

Although I’ve known Kristen for some time, this is my first chance to vote for her due to redistricting.

Kristen is a strong advocate for Lewiston. Her thoughtful approach to policy decisions and her dedication to public service are clear in her leadership on issues that matter: addressing housing affordability challenges, strengthening our workforce, advocating for paid family/medical leave, and more.

Throughout her service to our community, time and again Kristen has worked hard and made good decisions. I look forward to casting my ballot for her because she’s driven and experienced, and fights for what is right.

I am proud to support Kristen Cloutier’s candidacy to send her back to Augusta to do what she does best: represent all those she serves.

Cara Courchesne, Lewiston
