As a proud veteran with 22 years of service with military intelligence and special forces, I am proud to support Robert Meyers. Having the opportunity to speak with him numerous times, I am convinced he has the integrity, honesty and commitment to best serve the needs of our Maine citizens in these difficult times. A successful career in military service adds a special skill set when dealing with stressful and complex issues and he has demonstrated that with honor and integrity. Robert’s 23 years of service as an Air Force officer and KC-135 pilot culminating in the rank of lieutenant colonel demonstrates his unwavering commitment to our country, state and community.
Robert is not just a military leader, he is a defender of the Constitution and a staunch advocate for our freedoms and way of life. His service has instilled in him a deep sense of responsibility that translates into everything he does.
What sets Robert apart is his integrity and genuine sincerity. He approaches challenges with strong leadership and exceptional problem-solving skills, ensuring that he listens to the voices of those he serves. His successful military service has equipped him with the discipline and dedication necessary to address the issues facing our state effectively.
In these challenging times, we need leaders who embody the values and freedoms we cherish. Robert Meyer is that leader. He understands the importance of community and will work tirelessly to uphold the principles that make Maine a great place to live.
I urge my fellow Mainers to support and elect Robert Meyer to the state Senate. Together we can elect a leader who will continue to serve us with honor and integrity.
