To the Editor:
Maine needs more state senators who understand finance and how to use business tools to evaluate and manage government programs.
Candidate Paula Benoit fits those criteria. She is a Maine native who started and ran a successful business in Bath for many years. Paula knows how to prioritize and make difficult decisions while, ensuring we take care of our people who have real needs: providing government programs that are effective and efficient.
As a former state senator, Paula worked with both parties to pass needed legislation. For example, she carefully crafted legislation regarding adoption files that won bipartisan support in the Legislature.
Maine faces both financial and social challenges that require good, common-sense answers. Paula will provide that response for all of us as our state senator.
Please vote for Paula Benoit on Aug. 27.
