As a social worker, I’ve dedicated my career to addressing mental health and social issues. I’ve seen the devastating impact of inequality and neglect on our most vulnerable citizens. My greatest concern is the threat to democracy itself. With the rise in authoritarian rhetoric I fear for the future of our freedoms. Losing rights is something I never thought I would see in the United States.
Locally, Raegan LaRochelle stands against this slide toward extremism. She is a leader who understands that compassion, fairness, and human rights must form the foundation of our government — not fear and division. Her experience and dedication to the people of Maine make her the clear choice to represent us, all of us.
We cannot afford to ignore this moment. Our democracy and the wellbeing of our communities are at stake. That’s why I’m proud to support Raegan LaRochelle for state Senate.
