Dear Editor:

It is my pleasure to write a letter of support for the re-election of Holly Stover, for House District 89. I have known Holly for a long time — since our moms — Mrs. Brewer and Mrs. Stover taught together in the region’s schools. As we both worked in our early professional careers, I knew Holly as a caring, compassionate social worker, solving problems and listening to people in every circumstance. She was the go-to person for me — when I was in the legislature. Her dedication to the people she serves is unmatched.

When Holly was thinking about running for the legislature we talked and I said that how you vote in Augusta is important — but even more important is that your job is to carry the concerns, ideas and challenges of the folks in your District up Route 27 to the State House. Listening is key — and I knew Holly did that well.

This next Legislative session is going to consist of rough waves and high winds; storms that we have never experienced before and the success of navigating those waters to calm seas and fair winds will rest with thoughtful, caring problem solving people. Holly Stover is one of the best and I certainly urge that she be returned to the House.
