Patsy Crockett, Democratic candidate for House District 57, deserves our vote in November.

She has experience, trust and dedication to the House of Representatives.

As a longtime state employee, I have taken more than my share of hits to my pay and, with the last budget, to my benefits.

It is time to stop the madness and elect a representative who has a proven record of support for state employees.

Since the last election, I have changed my political party, and I am supporting individuals who I feel will make the changes needed to put Maine on the right track.

Crockett is one of those candidates.
