Smooth Sailing in August
Good morning voters!
Hasn't the weather been glorious? There's nothing like August in Maine. Great weather for going door-to-door
in Bowdoin, Bowdoinham and Richmond!
At this writing, I'm up to about 1,200 doors out of a little over 4,000 in the district. And on our direct e-mail
list of active supporters, we now number over 200.
The response I have received from those answering their doors has been phenomenal. It is truly as invigorating
and as motivating as the August weather itself. Folks genuinely appreciate that a candidate wants to hear their priorities
and concerns, and share these both candidly and copiously. In fact, I have already filled 4 notebooks with my chicken-scratch
shorthand. My personal road map for the 123rd Legislature!
Accountability, hard work, and a willingness to represent ALL the voters from a common-sense standpoint, are among the
traits I aspire to as your representative in Augusta. Please contact me anytime: whether in the glorious days we enjoy
now, or the chilly -- and to us Mainers, equally invigorating -- winter to come.
Yours for today and tomorrow,
Seth

Note: most states have major budget shortfalls. Those that do not are largely states with strong fossil

As your State Representative, I use this site as another way to keep
you informed and to hear from you. I believe strong communication and a willingness to
work across party lines are critical as we work to move Maine forward.
