In reelecting Sen. Teresa Pierce to the Maine Senate, the people of Senate District 25 (Gray, North Yarmouth, Long Island, Yarmouth, Cumberland and Falmouth) have the opportunity to return a thoughtful, experienced and committed public servant to Augusta. I served with Pierce on the Falmouth Town Council more than a decade ago and since then she has served with distinction in the Legislature, first as a member of the House of Representatives where she served as the House chair of the Appropriations Committee, and now in the Senate. She has distinguished herself in particular as an advocate for affordable housing and environmental protection and as a legislator not only willing but eager to work in a bipartisan manner. Returning Pierce to the Senate is good for Senate District 25 and it is good for Maine. Please join me in voting for Teresa Pierce on Nov. 5.
