Things people probably don’t know about Sen. Roger Katz:

He really loves Maine! On our first date, all I heard was, “Maine, Maine, Maine!” I thought he must work for the Maine Publicity Bureau.

We married, moved to Augusta and Roger became a hard-working lawyer. Success came by working seven days a week for 35 years, and giving back to his community in every way.

Roger has volunteered on boards, committees, civic projects, coaching and more while being a great dad and wonderful husband.

People might not know that Roger was a Cony High valedictorian, and holds degrees from Harvard and BU Law School because he is humble and happiest just hanging out with family and lifelong friends.

I will run into that voting booth on Nov. 6 and proudly cast my vote to re-elect my husband, Sen. Roger Katz, Republican candidate for Senate District 24.
