For those of you that do not know Troy Jackson, I hope to enlighten you. I don’t know the other candidates running for the vacated seat of Mike Michaud, who is running for governor, so I can neither say good or bad about them.

I do know Mr. Jackson very well. He is on a mission to fight for what’s right for Maine. Mr. Jackson was born and raised in northern Maine. (The other Maine as some have referred to.) His endeavor has always been for the working men and women of Maine. Troy Jackson knows what hard work is all about. He probably does not have the big monies behind him as some of the other candidates might have, but I think it’s time to bring all of Maine together.

I am truly positive that Mr. Jackson has the capability to do just that. He will be a proponent for all veterans and their issues. He truly is a gentleman and takes pride and the extra effort to talk to many and all constituents, and goes out of his way to help whoever he can.

All you veterans out there, we can make a big difference on the outcome of this vote. As I previously said, Mr. Jackson is all for the rights and issues of the people, and especially the veterans of Maine.

I personally believe it’s time for the “other” Maine to get in where they can make a positive difference for all concerned.

So I ask each and every one of you to please, if Troy Jackson is the choice of the people to run for Congress, I urge you to consider what I’ve said and hope you make the right decision when you cast your vote.
