As a small business owner myself, I feel Maine deserves a representative who truly recognizes the importance of small and medium-sized businesses to Maine’s economy. It is time to elect a representative who knows how to balance a budget. That is why, on Nov. 3, I will be voting to elect Laurel Libby as Maine State Representative for District 64.

Libby knows what it is like to be a small business owner in Maine. She cares about Mainers’ economic freedom and won’t raise taxes. She is a candidate who truly understands that if Maine isn’t open for business, it’s closed to progress.

These are uncertain times for Maine businesses. It is more important, now than ever, to elect a representative who will fight for Mainers’ interests.
