Children and families do well when their communities are strong. Communities are strong when children and families do well. Area voters have the opportunity to strengthen both by electing Kimberly Sampson in November.

Sampson brings compassion and understanding to issues facing today’s families, and knowledge and skills to improve outcomes. She realizes that better family health, higher educational achievement, improved child readiness for school, strong family relationships and economically successful families all contribute to a brighter future for Maine’s children, families and communities.

She understands that effective child and family policies make a difference. She appreciates the value of private/public partnerships in creating new and innovative jobs. She realizes an informed and collaborative approach to problem-solving are necessary assets to addressing today’s challenges facing families and neighborhoods.

Voters can do well by Maine’s children, families and communities by voting Kimberly Sampson.
