I hope Auburn voters who live in House District 88 consider Stefanie Mahr Damien for their representative.

Among her many strengths, Stefanie is a small business owner and deeply involved in the needs of senior citizens.

Perhaps most importantly, Stefanie is a Clean Election candidate. That means she funds her campaign by getting $5 contributions from people in her district. Clean Elections keep Maine free from large donors and from donations from people who live outside the candidate’s constituency.

And speaking of outside money, I urge voters to be aware of the Maine Referendum Question 1: Do they want to set a $5,000 limit for giving to political action committees that spend money independently to support or defeat candidates for office?

I hope people keep local elections truly local by supporting Stefanie and voting yes on Question 1.

Scott Currie, Auburn
