I am a veteran who proudly served as a member of the United States Army. I took an oath to uphold the Constitution, and currently I’m seeing that the biggest threat to our liberty is our state and federal government.

How could we get so far from our founding fathers’ core values? And how do we get back on track?

I truly believe we need to start locally. That’s why I’m voting for Rep. Laurel Libby in the next election.

In her first two terms in the Legislature, she has shown herself to be for the people of Maine — for their rights, seeking to lower taxes, protecting the innocent, and defending our values. She has a common sense approach and delves more deeply into issues than merely talking about them.

If voters care about protecting their freedom, safety and well being, I urge them to support Rep. Laurel Libby.
