I would like to tell people about Joan Beal, who is running for representative of Maine House District 81.
I have known Joan for 15 years, as we are both members of the First Universalist Church Norway, where we have worked together on several committees.
Joan has been involved in a number of community service organizations, including the Norway Budget Committee, the Comprehensive Planning Committee, the Climate Action Advisory Committee, and as a leader of the Save the Belfry Committee for her church.
She has been a voice for children as an educator for over 30 years, working in classrooms, halfway houses, treatment programs and in her work as a court-appointed special advocate for children.
Her experience and vision are broad, and we would do well to elect her as our representative in Augusta.
Janice Cardoza, Norway
