Many of my friends are supporting Steve Rowe because of his victories over the Bush administration while he was attorney general. Others support him because of his defense of Mainers’ traditional rights and values during that same tenure. And many of my colleagues and fellow young people are supporting him because of his noble and successful battles with the pharmaceutical companies to lower prescription drug costs while speaker of the House.
I’m supporting him because of his integrity, honesty and work ethic.
Steve grew up in a rural community and graduated in a class of 12 students, not so different from my parents’ high school experience in northwestern Aroostook County. He has an understanding and sense of commitment to rural towns that no other candidate on either ticket displays.
He is known throughout Maine politics as a sincere, honest man who has no personal agenda and hedges no bets. The only interest group he pays heed to are the people of Maine: the middle-class, the disadvantaged and disenfranchised and small-business owners.
I am confident and certain that should we elect Steve Rowe as our next governor he shall be the most humble, fierce and diligent individual ever to hold the office. On June 8, vote for Steve Rowe, the governor Maine needs, the governor Maine deserves.
Chace Joe Jackson
