Patrick’s positive record
I am writing to voice my support for John Patrick for state Senate. As Nov. 8 approaches, it’s easy to get caught up in negative storytelling, rumors and attacks. It’s easy, during a particularly grueling election cycle, to forget about all of the good work legislators such as John Patrick have accomplished. It’s easy to […]

First and foremost, I do not support — and have never supported — any efforts by Nestle or any other private company to assert any ownership […]

Patrick operates on the principle that he is elected by living, breathing people who need lawmakers who will make government work for them, not just the “people” that are […]

Patrick walks the walk
Many politicians “talk the talk.” Sen. John Patrick also “walks the walk.” He supports Maine’s students with his words and with his actions. As a school librarian, I have invited many local officials to visit my school and to read to students. Sen. Patrick has accepted the invitation multiple times. He takes the time to […]

He is an honest man who has worked hard to further the interests of the folks in Senate District 18. Anyone who knows him knows that he will continue to do so […]
