To the editor:
I would like to congratulate Mr. Troy Jackson in his election for District 35 Senate seat. What is most important is that we work closely to address the many issues facing our District, as Mr. Jackson represents our needs in the Senate.
I would like to express a special thanks to all of you who supported me during the last eight months. A significant amount of time and effort went into this campaign and your support made the entire process very rewarding.
We can celebrate the election of our new Governor-elect, Mr. Paul LePage. I believe Mr. LePage is fully committed to the needs of the St. John Valley. As a French-speaking Franco American with ancestral roots in the St. John Valley, he will represent us well. Both the Governor and his wife Ann, have family ties in the Valley. Many people have expressed concerns that the Valley will be forgotten since we have a Republican governor along with a Republican-controlled Senate and a Republican-controlled House of Representatives. I feel confident that the LePage administration and the House and Senate will be committed to the needs of the Valley and implement programs that will serve our interests.
I believe there will be many necessary changes over the next four years, but at the same time, changes that will strengthen our State and its people. I am very familiar with the issues facing the Valley and will work together with our elected Senator, Mr. Jackson to gain the Governor’s full attention in addressing the needs for the St. John Valley.
