Letter to the editor: Proud to endorse Erin Herbig
I am very pleased and proud to endorse my friend, Erin Herbig, for the Maine State Senate, representing Waldo County (District 11).
Erin has served as a state representative (representing Belfast, Northport and Waldo) and also served as House Majority Leader. She is experienced, thoughtful and hard-working.
Erin is a real ‘people person’. Her enthusiasm is infectious. She communicates well with people and she wants to solve problems and get things done.
Erin is a ‘local person’ and is responsive to local problems, projects and groups.
Small towns and rural areas need representatives who experience and understand their particular issues. As a retiree, a homeowner, a mother, a grandmother and community member, I appreciate Erin’s work to lower property taxes by restoring municipal revenue sharing and adequately funding public schools; offering student debt relief; expanding high-speed internet to rural areas; supporting a community college center in Waldo County; supporting families with affordable child care, healthcare and paid family leave.
I have admired Erin’s support of local businesses; tirelessly visiting businesses (large and small) all over Waldo County. She listens (Erin is a good listener); she asks questions and offers support.
One important issue Erin has been fighting for is better access to services for our fellow community members with autism and intellectual disabilities.
I couldn’t cast my vote for a more hard-working and responsive candidate.
