I enthusiastically support Jan Dodge as a worthy candidate for the House District 97 seat in the Maine legislature. She is bright, energetic and capable leader who will effectively represent her constituents while lending her considerable experience and wisdom to the role.

I served alongside Jan for five years while I was pastor of the First Baptist Church of Belfast (2011-2016). She was an active and contributing member and leader in the congregation. Her leadership was in worship music, financial management, local outreach promotion, and volunteer leadership recruitment.

Jan was also a voice and an example of community service and leadership in her volunteer work with Maine Education Association, both locally and on the state level, as well as an advocate for senior safety with the Waldo County TRIAD Board.
