On Nov. 4, I’m casting my vote for Republican Curtis Ayotte of Farmingdale for House District 83.

Gardiner needs new leadership with a fresh new face and here a few reasons why we should vote for Curtis.

He has a common-sense solution to wasteful spending, will work to make sure parents have school choice for their children and will protect our Second Amendment rights.

Curtis already has saved taxpayer money by running as a traditional candidate.

He is an Army veteran who has served his county in Iraq, who has already taken an oath to defend and protect the Constitution, and, with our votes, Curtis will do what’s right for Gardiner as our legislator come January.
