In Maine, we depend upon our small businesses. That’s why we need to get rid of the cumbersome laws that are handicapping business owners today.

Governmental overreach has us suffering from unintended consequences of the laws passed in Augusta. A prosperous economy has a cascading effect. Everyone benefits.

As a small business owner, I believe a job is better than a handout. It can enable the job-holder to develop new skills, gain a reputation for honest work, and instill self-confidence.

Why will I cast my vote for Rep. Laurel Libby? She is principled. She knows that free enterprise self corrects. She advocates for personal responsibility, a rare attribute these days. She respects the Constitution.

Additionally, she keeps us informed about what’s going on at the capital.
