To the Editor:
Mattie Daughtry — one of three candidates for Brunswick’s District 66 seat in the Maine House — is bright, talented, honest and experienced.
She has worked for private business, a statewide nonprofit serving disabled adults and children, and in Augusta politics.
She would be a great choice for all of these reasons. But perhaps the most important reason of all is that she is female. Politics should not be a boys’ club. There are not enough women in politics at any level. And Mattie is eminently qualified.
We would be fortunate to have a woman of Mattie Daughtry’s intelligence, experience and integrity representing Brunswick.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
