As an older and wiser voter, I vote the candidate, not the party.
I am a Democrat, but will vote for Republican Rep. Matt Pouliot. Matt has been more than willing to split with his party when he disagrees with an issue the Republicans propose.
Pouliot supported a bipartisan teacher evaluation bill and voted to support state workers by ending the freeze on merit and longevity pay.
He also pushed legislation to improve our public schools by supporting innovative educational alternatives for students who need more options to achieve school success. Matt collaborated across the aisle and voted for Medicaid expansion for affordable health care for Maine’s under-insured. I find Matt to be pragmatic, thoughtful and effective at getting people to find common ground on complicated issues.
Vote for Matt Pouliot.
