To the Editor: 
I have known Joe Martin of Rumford for years. Joe and his lady run a store in Andover. Their place is well known for great food and great conversation. Quietly and without great recognition, Joe has worked tirelessly as Chair of the Oxford County Republican party for well over ten years. His success has been noted statewide.

Now, Joe has put his hat in the ring for the State Senate. His experience worldwide as a businessman, innovator, and CEO is legendary. He is a great leader, at the right time, offering his services to us. We have an obligation to say “yes” for ourselves and our children. Joe lives conservative values, and he will make certain Maine people always come first.

I urge everyone to vote for Joe and get their friends and neighbors to do the same.
