As a member of the Vassalboro budget committee and a retired state employee, I know the importance of good representation in the state Senate. We need a senator who will stand up for workers, municipal revenue sharing, and fully funded education. For me, that is Storme St. Valle.

Access to health care for everyone without government interference is important to me. I know that Storme supports a women’s right to all health care without government overreach into private decisions. The same is not true of our current state senator.

Storme also supports local education, local school board and taxpayers. Our public school in Vassalboro is a great place for students to grow and learn. Pushing private schools with taxpayer money is simply not in the interests of our students or our taxpayers.

I encourage all the residents of Vassalboro, Augusta, China, Sidney, and Oakland to join me in supporting Storme St. Valle for state Senate.
