I strongly support Jean-Marie Caterina in the House District 126 primary election.

I first met Jean-Marie Caterina when I worked with her husband Geoff MacLean as Scarborough firefighters and later when she and I worked together with the Buy Local Scarborough civic organization. Jean-Marie is a strong supporter and advocate for all facets of public safety and a firm believer in the power of local businesses to strengthen the fabric of a community.

I have had the opportunity to have many conversations with Jean-Marie about important local and statewide issues. We may sometimes approach things with different perspectives, but I admire the fact that Jean-Marie believes that good solutions come through dialogue and listening skills, not just through one-way advocacy positions. That’s not as easy as it sounds, but it sure is needed for the state Legislature to do its job for the people of Maine.
