I am supporting the candidacy of Matt Townsend for the Maine House of Representatives District67. I urge my fellow residents of Benton and Fairfield to join me!
I feel strongly that Matt will bring a sense of fair mindedness and will work well with all the other members of the House regardless of their party affiliation.
It seems that our current representative feels that her main purpose is to vote in opposition of any legislation presented by those “across the aisle.” In April 2024, this representative received a vote of censure by the Maine House. She vocally supported, in the House Chamber, outrageous comments by another representative, that the tragic Lewiston mass shooting of Oct. 25, 2023, was, in effect, God’s wrath for legislation that expanded abortion access to female citizens all across Maine.
We need and deserve Matthew Townsend, who will provide us better representation than we currently receive.
