This guest column, written by Deborah Meehan was originally published in the Midcoast Villager.
I worked for the Revisor of Statutes Office in the Maine State Legislature for several sessions and in that role was able to observe leadership within the State House. Hannah Pingree was by far the most organized, competent and productive Speaker of the House in terms of collaborating, advancing legislation and producing results.
I trust Hannah to protect our environment, problem solve health care reform and stand up to corporations which do not have Mainers’ best interests. She is a clear thinker and a tireless worker. The role of Governor is becoming so important as the first line of defense for state’s rights and Hannah has all the skills to keep Maine moving forward in these awkward times.
I urge you to join me in voting for Hannah as your #1 choice for Governor.
