On Election Day this November, when I cast my ballot for state senator, my enthusiastic support will go to Democrat John Patrick of Rumford.

As an educator, I know Sen. Patrick has my back. For years, he has offered tireless support for men and women in the classroom all across Oxford County and the state of Maine. He knows that educators need more support from the state of Maine, not less. I support him the same way he has supported me.

As a union member, I also know Sen. Patrick will put his money where his mouth is to protect the labor movement in Maine. He is the strongest advocate for working men and women in Maine government today.

He supports education, the middle class and the prosperity both bring. That is why I shall vote for Sen. John Patrick this November.

Jarrod Dumas, Rumford
