On Nov. 4, residents of Falmouth, Cumberland, Yarmouth, Gray, Long Island, Chebeague Island and the northeast part of Westbrook (Senate District 25) have the opportunity to continue our district’s history of electing smart and independent voices in Augusta by voting for Cathy Manchester.

Cathy was Maine’s first female chief of police during her first career in law enforcement and has since spent the last 18 years building a very successful real estate business.

Cathy knows how to listen and how to communicate.

Having spent some time with her this summer, I am so impressed by her quick wit, lifelong experiences and commitment to her community. She will thoughtfully cast her votes one by one and does not carry anyone’s agenda other than what is best for her constituents.

Please vote for Republican Cathy Manchester for Maine Senate District 25.
