To the Editor:

Brunswick voters in House District 66 should choose Mattie Daughtry for the Legislature.

She is the only candidate who has the experience and know-how to write a bill and act like a leader on Day 1.

We’ve seen activists from all sides holding up signs that say “Read the Bill!” Well, that isn’t ever going to be a problem for Mattie because she has read every single bill before the Maine House front to back in the last two years. Just ask her.

Mattie will be a champion for Brunswick schools in Augusta and will become an immediate star on the Education Committee. She has support from teachers, parents, the Maine Education Association and several administrators, because they all know she is a highly intelligent bridge-builder who can accomplish great things with people of any party.

Mattie Daughtry is also the only candidate this race who has promised to vote for a new Speaker of the Maine House — one who will restore our commitment to Maine’s middle class, strengthen our schools, create jobs and protect our environment and our voting rights.

Mattie’s Green opponent has not made that promise. How is this a commitment to move Brunswick forward?

We need Mattie in Augusta precisely because she’s not the kind of person who will say anything or do anything to get elected. She cares about working hard for the town that raised her, so let’s elect Mattie Daughtry on Nov. 6.
