Supporting Bernard’s candidacy

To the Editor, 

I am writing today to express my strong support for Sue Bernard’s candidacy for Maine House District 149. As a lifelong Republican who served eight years in the Maine Legislature and who grew up in Fort Fairfield, I believe Sue has what it takes to represent Caribou, New Sweden and Westmanland with honor, class, and dignity.
