With the summer vacation season coming to a close and schools about to start, voters will begin to focus on the Nov. 5 general election. I will be with the voters in Appleton, Islesboro, Liberty, Lincolnville, Montville, Morrill, and Searsmont who will be voting to send Mike Ray to the House of Representatives to replace the retiring Paige Zeigler.
Mike, who has served on the Lincolnville Select Board since 2020, has been a community leader. I know from my own experience that Mike listens, learns, and follows through on constituent issues and concerns and cares deeply about his community.
As a Maine state representative, Mike Ray will work to secure reliable funding to ensure our roads are maintained, fight to lower costs for Maine families and to create more good paying jobs, help our communities face the severe storms resulting from climate change and promote district-wide cooperation on land use, infrastructure and emergency services. Please join me in supporting Mike Ray this Nov. 5.
