When Islesboro’s Craig Olson spoke at the state Democratic convention on May 19, we decided that he will have our votes for Congress to replace Bruce Poloquin. We know Craig as a dedicated public servant (Islesboro Planning Board, select board, Democratic chairman), small-business owner and transfer station manager, and perhaps most importantly as a dedicated family man.

In all of these roles Craig has witnessed and experienced the need for affordable health care, a liveable minimum wage, educational opportunities and training, and a sustainable environmental balance, so that all Mainers can live and remain in Maine, “the way life should be.”

Craig Olson’s compelling words, life experience and integrity are the reasons we’ll be voting for him. He listens, understands, and works with all stakeholders to reach consensus. Please join us and vote No. 1 for Craig Olson in the June 12 Democratic primary.
