Poliquin: Right for Maine

I am concerned that if our next governor is just another career politician or someone without private-sector experience, our economic concerns will not be addressed, spending will spiral out of control, and taxes will stay high. We don’t need more empty political promises. No one has ever created a job with a pledge.

We need action and results.  We need real leadership from someone who has actually managed budgets, created jobs, and invested in our economy.  That’s why I am supporting Republican Bruce Poliquin for governor. He is the only candidate who truly gets it.

Bruce grew up in Maine. He has a passion for this state. He also has the knowledge and background to address the real reasons our economy suffers.  To reduce spending, lower taxes and balance the budget, you need someone who understands proper fiscal management.

Bruce is a proven, effective and successful manager. He has the right skills at the right time for Maine.
