When Dani O’Halloran met my husband and me in our driveway on her walking tour of Brewer neighborhoods last summer, I knew immediately from her sincere smile and bright eyes that we had met an ally, who would represent our interests well at the State House.

Times are tough for us retirees, with rising costs outpacing our income from Social Security. Dani has heard it all before, as a longtime resident, veteran Realtor, parent, past school board member, and city councilor herself, she knows the perils we all face just to get by. The difference with Dani is that I believe she can do something about the economic pains we suffer.

That’s why I’m voting to reelect Dani O’Halloran, to continue fighting to lower our cost of living, reduce our property tax burden and healthcare costs, support education and training and local business development.

Please join me in returning our neighbor to the State House on Nov. 3!
