"It is with great pleasure that I endorse Jayne Giles for the Maine Senate. I was honored to work for Jayne for seven years, and I witnessed many times over during those years as our MaineStream Finance CEO that she has a servant leader's heart, and that she leads by example. 

She has helped many Maine small businesses get their start, grow, and employ countless individuals. She cares deeply about people, and as a Senator she will make decisions based on compassion, fact, and common sense.

Having served two terms in the House, she worked hard to bring legislators together to get important things done, which is not only possible, but she proved it time and again!

I nominated her for the U.S. Small Business Administration Financial Services Champion for Maine and New England. They are very well deserved awards, that I can still see her humbly accepting at the SBA awards ceremony.

For my friends and family in Waldo County, if you have not had the pleasure of meeting Jayne in person, I would be happy to make that introduction."
