I am pleased to endorse Kristen Cloutier as state representative for newly-created House District 94.

Kristen has a long history of community service, as past mayor of Lewiston, City Council president, Ward 5 councilor, and two terms as the representative of District 60, prior to redistricting. I have never met anyone whose dedication to serving this community is stronger.

Kristen has demonstrated her leadership by:

• creating an inspiring vision of the future;

• motivating and inspiring people to engage with that vision; and

• managing the delivery of the vision through team building.

Kristen’s greatest strength is her ability to listen and carefully formulate her ideas, responses and actions. As a middle-of-the-road politician, Kristen goes beyond short-term quick fixes to development that will benefit the next generation.

A proven transformational leader for Lewiston, Kristen Cloutier should continue to serve Lewiston as state representative for House District 94.

Tamera Grieshaber, Lewiston
