I am a fifth grade student at the Albert S. Hall School writing to express my opinion that Pat LaMarche is the best candidate for governor.

My school is currently engaging in a project where we support and create a campaign for one of the gubernatorial candidates. The person I was assigned was LaMarche. After reading about and researching her as well as the other candidates and comparing them all, I firmly believe LaMarche is the candidate who suits Maine best. She has clear, creative and feasible ideas about how to fix Maine's many problems with regard to health care, taxes and education. That is my opinion on why LaMarche is the best candidate for governor.

I have already convinced many of my friends and family to vote for her. Since I'm too young to vote, I have decided to campaign for her for real.
