Eric Brakey is running for state Senate, and I hope everyone will join me in supporting him.

I met him while working at the Lewiston-Auburn Community Little Theatre, and was immediately impressed by his friendliness and genuine interest in the work I was doing as the theater’s graphic artist.

He is an energetic, hard-working and caring individual. He is a natural born leader who leads in a thoughtful and unimposing manner. He brings fresh ideas and his own clear vision to every problem he tackles.

Most importantly, he represents a new generation of leadership.

The career politicians in Augusta only know how to grow government and their own power, while burdening Mainers. I am tired of the constant posturing and bickering in Augusta.

Eric Brakey is the breath of fresh air this community needs representing us in the Maine Senate.
