To the editor:
We need a representative in Washington that reliably demonstrates honesty, integrity and transparency. We should all expect our leaders to tell us the truth, even when it is difficult to hear. That’s why while I once identified as a Republican, I am supporting Emily Cain for Congress in this election year.
Our Congressman Bruce Poliquin is often less than honest, and won’t even level with us about whether he is supporting Trump.
However, we know that Poliquin has indicated his support for Trump to his big-money donors in private! That’s the low regard that Poliquin has for working people – we don’t merit the truth.
We need a Representative who knows which side they are on and who they are fighting for. Mr. Trump has made billions by shortchanging hardworking small business contractors, the very people Congressman Poliquin claims to support. At the same time, our current Congressman has supported ending Medicare and reducing Social Security benefits for future retirees.
Mr. Poliquin has a hard time relating to the needs of the people here in northern Maine. The 2nd District deserves a member of Congress who will put our jobs ahead of keeping their own.
