To the Editor:

Michael Lance is the real deal, and House District 79 has a prime opportunity to elect a true public servant. For 35 years, he dedicated himself as a teacher and coach, and since retiring, his commitment to the community has only grown. He volunteers at Responsible Pet Care, serves as a firefighter with the Paris Fire Department, has led as Master of the Oxford Lodge, and is active on his church council and in multiple choirs.

Michael understands the challenges facing our schools, including budget concerns, and will bring the voice of his constituents to Augusta. A strong advocate for constitutional rights, he is ready to uphold conservative values and fight for what matters to the people of District 79.

We would be fortunate to have a leader like Michael Lance representing us.

Oxford County GOP Committee Chairman
