I know a few things about state Senate candidate John Patrick. I know that he is a kind, respectful and generous person who does not take any voter for granted.

He is up from dawn to the late hours of the evening doing campaign-related activities, especially going door-to-door through the entire district. He has hit more than 50,000 doors in the past 16 years.

He is a publicly-financed Maine Clean Election candidate who wisely uses his campaign funds to get his message out by mailing literature and placing newspaper and radio advertisements.

He has visited many businesses in the district and has toured the state on legislative business tours.

He has been a champion, standing up for working women and men.

I am proud to say that I will cast my vote to re-elect my husband, state Sen. John Patrick and hope others will, too.

Claire Patrick, Rumford
