I am writing to add my voice to the growing chorus of voters supporting Cynthia Dill. I was especially pleased to see the Portland Press Herald endorse her candidacy for the Special Election on Tuesday May 10th.

It is refreshing that people are seeing through the incredible distractions that are bombarding our mailboxes. What’s more concerning, is that most of these unwarranted attacks are coming from people who live far away from the communities of Cape, South Portland, and Scarborough. Moreover, they accuse Rep. Dill of being a partisan, yet they rank among the most extreme members of Tea Party in this State.

The fact is, Cynthia isn’t a partisan! She’s just not afraid to tell the truth! People would tell Harry Truman, “Give ‘em Hell Harry,” to which he would respond, “I don’t give them Hell, I tell them the truth and they think it’s Hell.” Well, the truth that gives Gov. LePage Hell is that Cynthia is an incredible advocate. She represents the interest of her constituents, she takes on tough battles, and she’s been highly successful. She’s proven that she can be a powerful voice for our communities. Cynthia and I may not have always agreed on every issue, but I got a chance to see how she is able to build consensus to get things done.

Cynthia has earned my wholehearted support. I hope my friends and neighbors will join me in voting for Cynthia Dill on Tuesday.
