The residents of northwest Augusta deserve a state representative who wants only to serve them, and who is not distracted at the notion of seeking higher officer while doing the people’s work in Augusta.

Mike Hein is that person.

I can personally vouch for Mike’s character, loyalty and trustworthiness. He is a man of principle — a desperately needed quality within the halls of the State House.

Mike has served on his church council since 2004 and was in the military for 71/2 years.

Mike knows his neighbors, and their needs. He is a member of several local organizations and a life member of the Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine.

He will work hard at the Capitol to serve his friends and neighbors in House District 57. Please vote for Hein in the June 12 Republican primary.
