Troy Jackson committed to the little guy
To the Editor:
This letter is to share my wholehearted support of Senator Troy Jackson, Democratic candidate for Senate District 1.
Given the proximity of the citizens of SD 1 to Maine’s capital, I suspect that few of you have an opportunity to visit Augusta during the legislative session. I thought I’d share with you my observations of Troy while he’s working in Augusta.
Jackson started his legislative career in 2002 as a State Representative. His first year, he presented over 20 bills – something that’s very rare. Most new legislators take time to get their feet wet before taking on a significant workload. Not Troy, he had a fire in his belly. I can hear him saying “there is a lot I need to do to help the people back home.” That was his mission – always – “to help the people back home.”
Over the years I have followed Troy Jackson’s political work. He is committed to helping the little guy and a tireless advocate for workers. Time and time again I have watched Troy fight big business to make sure people like loggers are protected.
Above and beyond Troy’s stance on labor issues, he is a solid human being. Pragmatic in his approach, always a gentleman and, no matter what side of the aisle you sit, Troy always extends the same level of courtesy to all his legislative colleagues.
If you want someone in Augusta who will fight for you and stand up for issues that matter to you, while being civil and professional, you have to vote for Troy Jackson.
Years ago I worked as Troy’s Legislative Aide, later, as I lobbied, I watched him run legislative committees and testify passionately about issues important to the “people back home.” I’ve seen Troy in action. I can assure you Troy Jackson is very deserving of your vote.
