State Representative Flaherty is one of only a handful of Democrats to receive the prestigious Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine PAC endorsement

Augusta, Maine— The Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine’s PAC has endorsed Representative Sean Flaherty in his bid for re-election to the Maine House of Representatives.  Flaherty is one of only a handful of Democrats to receive SAM’s endorsement.

The Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine is a non-profit membership organization with 15,000 members and is the largest conservation organization in the state.  SAM advocates for hunters and other outdoor sports enthusiasts before the Legislature.

Rep. Flaherty said she was very pleased to receive this prestigious endorsement. “Having grown up in Maine, where hunting, fishing and boating are an integral part of our heritage, I am deeply committed to preserving the natural resources of our State and to ensuring access for sports men and women who are a mainstay of our economy,” Flaherty stated.

“The issues facing the Legislature are difficult ones that can greatly impact sports enthusiasts,” Flaherty said. “I will keep a careful watch on bills pertaining to preservation, conservation, and sportsman.  For example, just this year, the Legislature worked on milfoil prevention, firearms regulation, fish hatcheries, bond issues, and access to stocked waterways.”

Flaherty added, “I will continue to work to preserve public access to state owned lands and undeveloped areas of state parks.  I support measures to simplify Maine’s hunting laws and regulations to make them more uniform and easier to understand and to enforce.  And I will keeping fighting for Scarborough’s sportsman.”
