As residents of Cape Elizabeth, please join us in electing John Christie to the School Board.

It is with pleasure that I write to express my support of Frank Governali’s candidacy for the Cape Elizabeth Town Council. Particularly in these days of fiscal difficulties, the townspeople of Cape Elizabeth would be very well served by Frank.
