Senate candidate has a focus on providing help

To the Editor;
Recently I had the pleasure of accompanying Senate District 4 candidate Sue Mackey Andrews while she visited homes in the Milo area. We encountered many people, some doing quite well while others faced various issues. These issues included health, loss of employment due to poor health, housing that is less than adequate and an inability to maintain adequate housing due to fixed incomes.

Sue listens carefully to her future constituents and notes issues that some agencies in the county might be able to handle for these people. Sue’s approach to problems is to focus on the people who need help and the persons and agencies that provide this help. She recognizes that good educational facilities including tech schools and meaningful, adequately paid employment opportunities are the bedrock of a viable future for Piscataquis County.

I urge everyone in Senate District 4 to vote for Sue. She will bring a fresh, thoughtful and vibrant approach to the Maine Senate in order to truly represent all of the district’s residents.
