As a lifelong resident of Waterville and a Democrat involved in my community, I support Henry Beck for the state House of Representatives. Beck has served my family and me well as a city councilor of Ward 2. He has supported lower taxes, held community meetings to discuss issues such as crime, and been steadfast in supporting public safety.

And in these tough economic times, Beck has never forgotten those most in need, and the values of the Democratic party that respect children, seniors and workers.

There are serious issues for this Legislature and next. Beck has the experience of serving in elected office, but also the fresh perspective needed in Augusta. He has been accessible, visible and always a hard worker.

He is a Democrat who will make us proud, and, as a lifelong resident too, he knows the communities of Waterville and Oakland. Join me in voting for Beck on June 10 in the Democratic primary.
