As a retired businessperson, I’m interested in having elected officials who understand the importance of a healthy business environment in Kennebec County. We’ll be asked at this June’s elections to nominate a candidate to run for the late Beverly Daggett’s seat as a county commissioner.

Of the three who are running in the Democratic primary, I’ll be supporting Patsy Crockett. As a businesswoman, and a former local legislator, she has demonstrated support for our local businesses. We need her business experience on the Kennebec County Board of Commissioners.
