Letter to the editor: Dave Miramant truly public-spirited, represents well

Mon, 09/12/2016 - 8:00pm

I’m an independent voter and will be voting for Senator Dave Miramant for District 12 on November 8.  Dave is a well-qualified leader who has a proven track record of working with his colleagues from all parties to craft bipartisan solutions. For example, he crafted a bill requiring the ferry service to install lockboxes on the state ferries for transportation of medical samples, removing an unnecessary burden for island residents. This bill received strong bipartisan support, and although vetoed by the Governor, Senator Miramant was able to work across the aisle to gain the necessary two-thirds majority support of the legislature to override the veto. Senator Miramant is also at the forefront of the fight for better education, veteran’s services, job creation and natural resource conservation.

Dave is always accessible, responds quickly and efficiently to constituents, and regularly attends community events.  He is truly public-spirited and represents us well. Please join me in re-electing Senator Dave Miramant.
