With our incumbent House representative stepping down, the time for dynamic, forward-thinking leadership in House District 81 has come.
Having just moved from an adjacent district, I’m thrilled at the prospect of Joan Beal representing me and our rural western Maine communities in Augusta.
I have known Joan for more than a decade through my work as an organizer in Norway. I can’t think of another person who so consistently shows up to support the community across a broad range of issues.
As a retired educator and experienced caregiver who has served on budget, comprehensive planning, and climate action advisory committees, Joan stays informed on important issues facing our community, and is an excellent and compassionate communicator, always seeking to understand all points of view on an issue.
I hope people cast their vote for Joan Beal in November.
