For the sake of my family and all Maine families, I’m supporting Jared Golden in the Democratic primary for the 2nd Congressinal District on Tuesday, June 12.

As a state representative, Jared worked hard on measures to reduce lead, championing a bill to fund lead abatement programs for families who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford them. Young children such as my great-grandson are especially vulnerable to lead poisoning. Jared saw how badly this problem was affecting Lewiston-Auburn families and took action.

His record on the environment is stellar regarding other problems, too, from keeping litter off our streets to protecting firefighters from harmful chemicals, to supporting the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, to protecting Maine from damaging mining practices.

With Jared Golden, we have a chance to begin restoring essential environmental protection measures the present administration is undoing to benefit wealthy special interests. We need his vote in Congress to protect the future for our families.

William F. Reid Jr.
