Dear Editor:

Chris Johnson is one of the most talented, common sense leaders we've ever sent to our State Senate. He is a truly gifted thinker and a great problem solver. He analyzes the best ways to solve complex issues, listens to others, and works tirelessly, building consensus to get things done right. If we want change for the better, we need to have Chris Johnson’s innovative talents and statesmanship in the Maine Senate.

Chris is a non partisan legislator. He knows that a good idea doesn't care who has it, and will support any good idea, no matter where it originates. Examples of this include Chris's support of the governor’s efforts to curtail domestic violence, becoming lead cosponsor of GMO labeling and Lyme disease bills, and his support for good Republican bills both in committee and on the Senate floor.

Chris has already visited countless homes to listen and learn about our concerns, in order to inform his actions in the Senate. Now it’s time for us to learn more about him at http://www.senatorchrisjohnson.org and understand why the right choice is to re-elect Chris Johnson.
