I’m writing to support Ray Thombs for State Representative District 44: Warren, Hope and Union.   I live in Warren, Maine, where I have raised four children, and raised six grandchildren, all who have attended schools in RSU 40.   I support Ray for his honesty, his integrity, and always choosing the right path while guiding many alongside of him. I feel he can help change the path for the great State of Maine if you’ll elect him into the State House.   I’ve known Ray for over six years; he has been my friend and my Pastor.  I’ve seen him help many businesses and numerous people along the way. I’ve followed his career in leading and restoring businesses and restoring people's lives. He knows the value of our families, children, our youth being the hope for our future.   Ray has spent a considerable amount of time in the State House watching, listening, learning, and educating himself on his own to be the best that he could be for the State of Maine. He has an extensive background in the military, defending our country and supporting the Constitution of the United States. He truly cares about the State we live in and its future. Please take a look at his website and literature. Feel free to email him and ask him questions, he’s open to any conversation.   Ray Thombs is the change we need in Augusta, and will be a representative that will listen to the people in District 44! Let him be the voice we need to regain our State and hold on to our belief of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness in Maine once again!   Linda Jones lives in Warren
