This November residents of Farmingdale, Fayette, Gardiner, Hallowell, Litchfield, Monmouth, Mount Vernon, Pittston, Randolph, Readfield, Vienna, Wayne, West Gardiner, and Winthrop will have the opportunity to elect a new county commissioner.

As rates of everything increase, we need elected officials who know how to balance a budget. I know this is true about Charlotte Warren. Charlotte has served as an elected official in central Maine for over two decades — that’s a lot of budgets!

She will make sure the process is transparent and fair. Join me in electing her as a Kennebec County commissioner on Nov. 8.
