To the Editor:

Joe Martin is from Rumford. He was born in Rumford and attended Rumford schools. He went on to become an international CEO and lead companies around the world.

Joe has served the greater Rumford area for many years. His conservative values and his predictable leadership abilities are highly valued by his neighbors and friends. Joe has served quietly for many years as Chair of the Oxford County Republican Party, and he has consistently supported and nurtured great candidates up and down the ballot.

Now we have a chance to send a great leader and an original thinker into Augusta. Maine, Oxford, and Franklin Counties need a fresh new Senator who will work every day for our families.

I urge everyone to vote for Joseph Martin for Maine State Senate.
