Brunswick – Today, Bruce Poliquin, candidate for Maine Governor, received the endorsement of Bill Kelton, President of Maine Parts and Machine located and Portland.  As a small business owner, Kelton praised Poliquin’s focus on permanently reducing the cost and complexity of doing business in Maine.

“Bruce understands the details that go into managing and operating a business day-to-day.  He knows the tough decisions companies have to make and the consequences of those choices,” Kelton said in a statement. “I trust that Bruce will change the negative attitude politicians in Augusta have toward the people and companies that create jobs.  We need to foster a healthy, robust private sector.  Bruce understands this intimately.  He has the experience and the background we need in Augusta, managing budgets appropriately and making wise decisions with limited resources.”
