I am excited to support Andrew McLean’s re-election to the Maine House of Representatives. Andrew has been an effective advocate for Gorham families, working behind the scenes to build consensus around legislation to reduce property taxes, fix our roads and bridges and grow our economy. Andrew cares deeply about our community, he is responsive to the concerns of his constituents and most importantly, he walks the talk when it comes to working across the aisle to get things done.

I have been particularly impressed with Andrew’s vision, energy and commitment on transportation issues. After less than two years on the job, Andrew has emerged as a leader on transportation issues, organizing and leading a group of Democratic, Republican and independent legislators and stakeholders to build consensus around solutions to fix our roads and bridges and modernize our transportation infrastructure. For those of us who are frustrated by partisan bickering, it’s refreshing to be represented by Andrew, who invests significant time and energy in building relationships with his colleagues – across the aisle and ideological spectrum – and takes time to listen to their concerns and find common ground. This is leadership and we need more of it in Augusta.

When Andrew first campaigned in 2012, he worked hard to earn people’s votes. He is working equally as hard to earn your vote this year. He has demonstrated the capacity to work with others, listen to all sides of issues and bring people together to find common ground. In today’s political climate, we don’t need more closed-minded, ideologically driven hyper-partisan legislators who aren’t willing to work together. Andrew is just who Gorham and Scarborough need back in Augusta. I am excited to support Andrew McLean’s re-election and I hope you will join me in supporting him.
