Ford says, “Get a truck that works as hard as you do.” I’ll go one better: Let’s keep Sen. Matthew Pouliot in office. He works as hard as the people of Maine do.

It’s no secret that Mainers are suffering with feeling the pinch at the gas pump and the grocery store. Our children and grandchildren are dying of drugs. Others are going in prison and out without learning basic reading, or basic life skills while they do time. Teachers are told what to teach and it’s not the basics.

We clearly have big problems, which means we need a senator who understands them and is a bulldog when it comes to looking for solutions.

That’s why I’m voting for Matt Pouliot in November and I hope everyone reading this does too.
