Imagine a campaign where staff and volunteers talk about issues.

Imagine a campaign where Democrats, Republicans and independents are talking and working together.

Imagine a candidate who welcomes your help without regard to your political affiliation.

You don’t have to imagine for very long because Angus King has put together just such a campaign from Fort Kent to Kittery.

Let’s send King to the U.S. Senate. Let’s send a real leader to Washington who will show the D.C. crowd that we can all work together for the good of our country. The times demand it. Our children deserve it.

I invite your readers to join me in helping King get elected to the Senate. We need not accept this gridlock.

Our state motto is, “Dirigo,” I lead. Together we can show the country that Maine leads the nation.
