In the upcoming Republican primary for governor, picking my choice was easy. I will be voting for Chandler Woodcock.

I want to have a leader in Augusta who will seriously take on our state government’s tax-and-spend addiction. I am looking for a leader who will not waste our time and resources on feel-good gimmicks such as Dirigo but, instead, seeks out real reforms that effectively reduce the cost of health care. I want a leader who will work tirelessly to make Maine a better place to make a living.

Chandler is a man of character, and he is a natural leader.

We need to put Chandler Woodcock on the ballot this fall against John Baldacci, and we need him to win.

Matt Mower, Lewiston
