If you’re a voter in District 87 (Wiscasset, Alna, Pittston and Randolph), remember this name when you go to the polls: Wendy Ross. She’s a candidate for state representative. In her, you’ve got the finest kind. Smart and also wise, with deep family roots in Maine and a clear-eyed view of the challenges Mainers face today, Wendy’s got a big heart and a cool head.

I talked with her recently about what she’s learned from crisscrossing District 87. She spoke about neighbors needing jobs; families struggling with addictions; and working parents longing for good schools and high-quality day care. The courage and goodness of the people she’s met have touched her.

Wendy Ross has your best interests in mind. Give her your vote, so she can start working for you.
