I am writing to express my support to elect Matt Pouliot, Republican candidate for House District 57 in the Legislature.

I had the pleasure of meeting Pouliot eight or nine years ago when he worked for the Augusta Rec Department in the after-school program that my children attended. He was a good role model then, just as he is now.

Pouliot is a caring individual who is smart, energetic and hard working. He is a business owner and currently serves on many of the various boards here in Augusta — volunteering his skills with energy and integrity.

Our district needs the kind of young, energetic voice in our State House that Pouliot will provide. I am confident that Pouliot will work across party lines and bring a new energy to our state.

I hope others join me and my family and elect Pouliot to the House of Representatives.
