I write to the residents of Maine Congressional District 1 to vote for Republican Ed Thelander from Bristol. On the occasions I have listened to Ed address his supporters, it is clear he will bring a disciplined approach to turning around the deteriorating condition of our economy. Having served our country for two decades as a Navy SEAL, Ed has the proven integrity, character and courage to make tough and reasoned decisions under pressure.

With the housing market in recession, job cuts on the horizon and an inflation rate not seen in 40 years, the prevailing attitude in Washington is business as usual, with calls for more spending.

However, there is hope in the form of candidates like Ed, focused on reversing inflationary spending policies with an approach based on fiscal discipline, personal responsibility and service before self.
