Supporting Matt Rush for Maine Senate

To the editor:
I am writing in support of Matt Rush, my friend and a first-time candidate for State Senate District 2. Like so many of us here in The County, Matt worked at an early age on his family’s potato farm, Rush Brothers Farms, and learned the importance of a strong work ethic.
