I enthusiastically endorse Bettyann Sheats for the Maine Senate in District 20, covering Auburn, Durham, New Gloucester and Poland.
Bettyann is an honest, principled, hardworking, experienced and competent advocate for our community. She is committed to family values and has worked effectively for policies that support families, including a safe environment and lowering the cost of health care.
She understands the importance of the full range of services that support families: prenatal and well-child medical care, parental leave, child care, affordable health care and education.
As a legislator, she was a consistently responsible steward of Maine’s fiscal and environmental resources, focused on practical and affordable solutions to real problems.
Perhaps most important, Bettyann understands and respects the complex balance required for crafting policies that protect and enable citizens without being intrusive.
I hope people join me in voting for Bettyann on Nov. 5.
