I am a mother and a community advocate in Gardiner working toward the betterment of our community. I am also co-guardian, along with my father and aunt, for their brother, my wonderful 78-year-old uncle, an adult with a developmental disability.

I met Shenna Bellows when she agreed to help our family and hundreds of families of adults with intellectual disabilities or autism across the state advocate for this vulnerable population. I saw firsthand that she is a passionate advocate who works hard to build coalitions to come to the best solutions for our communities. With her help, we won.

I was impressed by her dedication and commitment. Shenna has spent most of her career working to help others. I support Shenna Bellows for state Senate District 14 because I believe she will be a strong voice for our communities. Please vote for Shenna Bellows on June 14.
