Dan Campbell would be an outstanding state representative, and I encourage voters to support him. He would represent everybody in his district and offer points of view that are under-represented in Augusta.
His opponent, Rep. Laurel Libby, has a lifetime voting score of 5% (1 for 20) from Maine Conservation Voters, a score of zero (0 for 9) from the Working Families legislative scorecard, a score of zero (0 for 3) from the League of Women Voters, and a score of zero (0 for 9) from Planned Parenthood.
On the other hand, she received a 92% legislative rating from the John Birch Society, whom my mother, a moderate Republican, referred to as a bunch of crackpots.
We can do better, and Dan Campbell is the candidate to accomplish that for his district.
Richard S. Whiting, Auburn
