I’m voting for Sara Gideon because she understands the dangers of climate change and works for improvement. I see a leader who has passed some of the most aggressive measures in the state’s history to reduce carbon emissions and increase renewable energy. The League of Conservation Voters endorsed her. On the local front she attends to the details like increasing the quality of road construction as it relates to effective management of ground water runoff. On the global front Gideon understands that as a nation, we need to rejoin the Paris climate agreement. Contrast that with Susan Collins, who has a 21% rating from LCV. It seems pretty simple to me, a vote for Gideon is a vote for responsible management and conservation of our irreplaceable watersheds and marine resources. ~ Patten Williams, Augusta
