Dear Editor:

I encourage everyone to elect Les Fossel to represent Maine House District 47. Les has valuable experience that we can use to get back to protecting the important values of daily life in Maine and our county.

I have worked with Les on a number of non-profit boards in Lincoln County. He knows our people and our history. Les is always concerned with collaborations and encouraging people to work together for the common good of our communities. His influence in Augusta will be positive and goal-centered - regardless of politics.

We need people like Les everywhere in our government.
