Stefanie Mahr Damien is not “deranged,” as claimed by a direct mail piece I recently received.

It seems her opponent’s supporters have decided it is best to attack Stefanie and call her names rather than explain why I should vote for him. As an independent voter who votes on both policy and the person running for office, these tactics turn me off.

I write this to speak up for Stefanie. She is a level-headed, reasonable, Clean Election candidate who’s out there knocking on doors, having conversations with voters from all sides, and listening to our concerns in order to effectively represent us in the State House. She is a professional businesswoman who performs her services honestly, effectively and reasonably.

I hire Stefanie because she is the best at what she does, and I trust her with my livelihood.

I also trust her to fairly represent all of us in District 88.
