I have always been very proud of being from Maine and especially Aroostook County. I went to Ricker College, and at the time, really didn’t appreciate what I should have. Moving south to the 1st Congressional District, I have been very active in the American Association of University Women, Business and Professional Women, United Way and women’s causes. Since retiring from the Office of the Maine Attorney General, I have been very involved with AARP Maine. Now I am back in the 2nd District, and I want people to understand how important it is that what happens in Augusta can help or hurt them.
LD 1636 has been put into play by Sen. Ned Claxton, a doctor from Lewiston who is trying to help everyone who needs prescription drugs (I am certain everyone has some!). People should please call their legislators today and urge them to pass Claxton’s LD 1636. Urge them to support this important bill.
