I wish to thank the voters of Gorham for returning me to Augusta to continue my service as your state representative. I am honored to have the support of my neighbors in this endeavor, and humbled by the trust you have placed in me to serve in this role.

Now that Election Day has passed, I am eager to begin my third term and continue Gorham’s tradition of leadership and progress in the Legislature. As I stated on the campaign trail, I stand ready to continue progress on the issues that matter most to you.

This coming session, I am committed to increasing funding for education, supporting small business and the Maine economy. I will also work to make access to affordable, quality health care a reality, and am optimistic that we can enact meaningful tax reform legislation.

During my four-year tenure of public service, I have asked for your continual input and ideas. In order to truly represent you, I make this same request, and am hopeful that our communication can continue.

Thank you again for your support of my candidacy and my work in the Legislature. I am grateful for the continued opportunity to serve.

Chris Barstow
