Dear Editor:

I just wanted to publicly give a shout out to Stephanie Hawke as Election Day nears.

I have been on Facebook and seen what people who have known her all of her life are saying, and it is very sad that some of those in the small, usually tight-knit community that I grew up in, and have always been so proud of, have taken to making public negative comments.

I have known Stephanie most of her life and been friends with Holly most of my life. I don’t see any Republicans going on Holly’s page making negative remarks, only Democrats going on Stephanie’s page!

I just want people to know that Stephanie has gone above and beyond, as I don’t even live in a Maine anymore, but she has been researching and helping me with a “Maine” issue, and without hesitation or question.

A huge thank you to Stephanie, for the help, and for her positive reaction to the public “taunting” on social media.
