What is that famous Mr. Rogers quote? “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”
In our Western Maine community, a helper we can count on is Joan Beal, who is running for representative for District 81 in the Maine Legislature.
I have had the pleasure of working with Joan on several committees for the town of Norway, including the Comprehensive Planning Committee, the Budget Committee, and the Climate Action Advisory Committee.
As an active citizen, Joan brings honesty, insight, and lived experience to her work. She shows up without judgment and looks for common ground. Joan genuinely cares about her neighbors and keeping our communities connected.
When people head to the polls on Nov. 5, I hope they “look for the helpers” and vote for Joan Beal as our representative for District 81.
