I’d like to officially make known my preferred candidate in the March 9 state Senate election: It’s my father-in-law, Will Guerrette, or as my daughters call him, Pops.

In addition to being a successful small business owner, Will’s a dedicated family man. My daughters light up when they see “Pops.” He understands what’s truly important, and he’ll fight hard for policies that will make it easier for my children and yours to find opportunities here in central Maine.

As an educator who has taught for six years at Winthrop Grade School (also serving as a Union Building Representative for three years), education and our children’s futures are very important to me. Parents, teachers and all other community members, Will Guerrette deserves your vote on March 9. He works incredibly hard to support his family, and I know that he will work equally hard to help support yours in Augusta.
