Haines offers loud and clear voice
To the editor:
As a retired teacher, (Skyway Middle and Presque Isle High School), I write to proudly support one of my favorite former students, Troy Haines of Mapleton, as he seeks a seat in the Maine House of Representatives as the member from District 7.
Early on, I recognized Troy’s intellect, creativity and potential. We need Troy Haines’ strong, articulate voice in Augusta where he will advocate for the people of rural Maine.
A life-long County resident, Troy is one of us. He gets it! As a small business owner, he knows what our problems are because he lives them every day: how to balance a budget, meet a payroll, provide health care, and pay ever-increasing tax bills. In addition, Troy actively promotes sustainable farming and community revitalization through small family farms, the historical backbone of Aroostook County.
Troy will work across party lines because he believes that the real benefit for his constituents will come from reasonable folks sitting down together and working out solutions to the problems facing Mainers.
I urge voters in District 7 to send Troy Haines to Augusta with his smarts, his energy, his integrity, his compassion, and his vision for prosperity in Aroostook County. His is exactly the voice — loud and clear — that Aroostook County and District 7 farmers and small businessmen need.
