To Maine’s race for the governorship, independent candidate Rick Bennett brings a proven record of consensus-seeking and bipartisan teamwork, as well as a distinguished record of principled legislation. He has the experience, the vision and the political backbone we Mainers need in our next governor.

Rick Bennett knows government should work for Mainers, not the other way around. He’ll make our government more efficient — more transparent — more answerable to the people.

In today’s divided times, we need a leader to step forward and pull us together again toward a common purpose. Rick Bennett is a true statesman who can point the path and lead the way: common sense, common ground, common cause.

This November, please join me in voting for independent candidate Rick Bennett for governor.
