I am pleased to endorse Rep. Michael Perkins for the GOP nomination for state Senate, and I encourage you to vote for him on June 14.

Mike is an Air Force veteran, and you better believe he will make sure the best policies are put forward to support our veterans and protect the freedoms they fought for.

He has a record of getting things done and will work to tackle the challenges before us like rising gas and food prices.

As a retired police officer, Mike has the real-world experience needed to address public safety concerns such as the drug-epidemic that is tearing apart Maine families.

He has the leadership skills to fulfill our state motto, “Dirigo: I lead,” and I am confident he will lead us through these challenging times. Please vote for Michael Perkins in the Republican state Senate primary on June 14.

Sen. Brad Farrin
