Dear Editor:

I am writing this letter to urge voters in District 87 which encompasses Wiscasset, Alna, Pittston and Randolph, to vote for Wendy Ross to represent us in the state legislature.

Wendy serves as president of the trustees of the Wiscasset Public Library. I have served with her on that board and have observed her capable leadership and her commitment to this vital community organization.

At a time when some state leaders show a lack of respect for the teaching profession in Maine, Wendy values the importance of education in our communities. She advocates fully funding the 55 percent state support for education passed by referendum vote. She is endorsed by the MEA based on her intention that teachers be fairly compensated for their essential work.

In November please join me in voting for Wendy Ross as our representative for District 87. It will be a positive move!

Cynthia Fischer

Wiscasset
