Time for change in District 146

To the editor:

     I am supporting Rosemary Monahan for House District 146. It’s time for a change, and time to send a Representative to Augusta who will represent us with integrity and skill. During his two-year term, our current Representative has failed to answer a single email or phone call from myself, and has ignored all of my requests for responses on important issues. In fact, he recently posted online an admonition telling constituents to stop calling him. For a person who sought and holds a paid public office whose only duty is to represent the citizens of District 146, that is unbelievable.

     Rosemary Monahan is a lifelong resident of our District and is an accomplished, compassionate and hard-working professional with decades of experience in her career as a legal advocate. She understands the struggles and issues affecting our rural communities.

     As a successful product of local schools and a homeowner who raised a family here, she appreciates the need for listening to her neighbors and community. She also understands the need for economic development that is possible in Aroostook County because she does take the time and effort to listen. She has spent hours discussing with my family the benefits and barriers to beef farming in Aroostook, and has earned our community’s trust over the years as Chair of the Woodland Zoning Board of Appeals.

     Rosemary Monahan is an independent thinker who will consider the issues and stand on the side of folks in Washburn, Castle Hill, Woodland, Chapman, Westfield, Mapleton, Mars Hill, Perham, Blaine and Wade.

     Do you know who your Representative has been for the past two years? Probably not. Well, here is a chance for District 146 folks to answer that question on November 8th. “Yes, my representative is Rosemary Monahan, and she has our back, and she will work for all of our district families.”

     Please vote for Rosemary Monahan. She will always answer your calls and questions, and she will represent us with integrity.
