I will be voting for Steve Russell in Senate District 16 on June 12.

I have known the Russell family all of my life while living on the Garland Road in Winslow. Steve represents traditional Maine values — hard work, honesty, responsibility and fair play — while maintaining the Pine Hill Farms dairy herd and organic farming.

Having worked with Steve on a council (aside from the Winslow Town Council), he listens, questions, researches and is a consensus builder. Without question, Steve has local and state concerns to which he is actively involved. I feel Steve would be a stable asset to our Legislature.

Vote with me and select Steve Russell. Let’s be proud of our community and our state.
