My
name is Jim Martin and I'm running to be your State
Representative in District 18 (Bangor East
Side, Veazie and part of Orono) to bring a pragmatic,
progressive voice to
Augusta.
As
a social worker and a small business owner, I've been working
for
more than 20 years to advance the issues that matter most
in the lives of Maine people - access to affordable healthcare,
quality
education,
a clean environment, equality for all and
the creation of good paying jobs.
The people
of Maine want solutions
to the tough
challenges we all face, regardless of the party we belong
to; sky-rocketing fuel costs, fixing our roads and bridges,
investing in our children's education. As your Representative
in Augusta, I promise to work hard each
day,
with both Democrats
and
Republicans, to find solutions that make sense and are fiscally
responsible.
I
look forward to meeting you in person during this
campaign because I want to hear what's on your mind. Please
feel free to contact me to
ask your questions or share your ideas.
Of
course,
I would be honored to have your vote this November.
