We are writing to endorse Rebecca Millet, a Democrat running for a second term in the Legislature as a senator from District 7. Rebecca has tirelessly represented Cape, South Portland, and Scarborough in her role as state senator and chair of the education committee. She has impressive financial acumen, a strong work ethic, and important ability to work with all her colleagues to find reasonable solutions.

In just two years, Rebecca has already improved our state’s environment. As a freshman senator, she:

• Co-sponsored an act to protect consumers’ right to know about genetically engineered food.

• Co-sponsored an act to support solar energy power.

• Supported an amendment to the Maine Metallic Mineral Mining Act that protects water quality.

• Voted for an act that ensures major manufacturers report use of BPA in their food packaging.

• Supported an act that protects the water quality of Maine’s lakes.

Senator Millett understands that Maine’s natural resources and habitats must be protected and preserved. Her voting record reflects a long-term perspective about our state’s greatest resources our people, wildlife and environment.

We strongly urge voters to return Rebecca Millett to the Senate so she can continue her work protecting and improving Maine’s environment for future generations.
