The governor has a difficult job and let’s face it, developing a budget, keeping a range of programs operating and developing strategies to improve the state are hard work. To govern well it takes a person who respects all people, welcomes everyone to participate and believes that our democratic government can improve the lives of its citizens.

For the past four years, we have lacked a governor who is interested in governing well, and doing that hard work.

This can change on Nov. 4 by electing Mike Michaud.

Mike will be a governor who will work hard, govern wisely and solve problems. He will approach this task with a refreshing sense of humility, the ability to listen and work with everyone to move the state forward.
