What personal qualities do you like to see in a Maine state senator? I would like to see a senator who can solve problems, work across the aisle, has a broad background, and who has a record of accomplishment.

Laura Fortman, who is running in Senate District 13, has all of the above qualities. Laura has the ability to fight for access to quality health care, support local business that provides good jobs for Maine families, ensure our young people have the education and skills to obtain good-paying jobs, and to protect our natural resources.

I have had the privilege to talk with Laura about issues that concern us all. Laura is also a Clean Election candidate, only accepting $5 contributions. As a middle-class retiree, I fully support Laura Fortman for District 13.
