Crockett

And now the field is coming around the club-house turn and heading for the stretch run to the finish line of, perhaps, the most important election in our time. The reward at the finish line for the people of Maine is simple. Do the people of Maine want to continue with the tax-and-spend tactics of the past or do they want to take Maine in a different direction than the one we’ve been traveling for over thirty-five years?

Jarrod Crockett has shown, over his first term, he understands what must be done in order to take Maine out of the doldrums of joblessness, out of control spending, ever-increasing taxes and fees and a government who doesn’t seem to care what the people think.

He has used both his intellect and heart in making the decisions he believes to be the best for the state of Maine. He is richly deserving of another term in Augusta.

Since it has been the Democrats that have ruled for over thirty-five years, giving us taxes that are onerous, hospitals on the verge of collapse because they’re not getting paid and an economy that is on life support, please give the Republican candidates in all districts an opportunity to bring Maine to her rightful place in this nation’s economy.
