To the editor:
There are so many thoughts going through your head when graduating. So many possibilities for the future are open to you. But in this economy, it is now twice as hard to find a job and there is a lot of competition for the jobs that are available. I recently graduated college three months ago, and I am still having a hard time finding a job. Applying, and sending out resumes are not helping in the slightest. I now find these positions going to people that are less qualified because employers want to pay less for training. This is not a good way to boost job growth.
During this bad economy, you have to take into account what political leaders are going to do to help promote jobs, and the economy. I find myself thinking about Angus King. He has what it takes to help the State of Maine and the thousands of college graduates that are having a hard time finding employment.
During his two terms as governor, one major thing that King focused on was job creation. He has help add over 70,000 jobs, an average of 175 jobs a week. This is what we need in this economy.
Angus King is the best choice for the U.S. Senate. I believe he will help create many jobs, and help thousands of people in the same boat as I am. I know that Mr. King has my vote.
