Representative Heather Sirocki deserves your vote and should be returned to Augusta to represent Scarborough.

Doing a good job in Augusta takes diligence and hard work. It is one thing to show up for a few votes and events. Anyone can do that. A truly effective representative shows up for all votes, carefully tracks issues important to Scarborough and the state, and is always informed about the issues. She is a true leader and voice for individual and fiscal responsibility. We just cannot afford to spend at unsustainable levels. This has improved during Representative Sirocki’s tenure and she will continue this very important work.

Beyond that, Heather tirelessly supports our community in many ways by representing the state government at many functions and ceremonies on her personal time. This means a great deal to many people and is not something every representative does. Scarborough is very fortunate to have someone so organized and dedicated. Heather is the rarest of “politicians” because she doesn’t do this work for personal gain (as a matter of fact, she and her family have sacrificed much so Heather can represent Scarborough in Augusta). But if you know her, she is not a politician at all. She is a true citizen representative, a servant leader who serves Scarborough with intelligence, hard work, and fiscal responsibility. If Scarborough does not send her back to Augusta, it will be our loss.
