Chuck Cianchette is my neighbor and I’ve always been impressed with his caring and concern for people — always taking the time for others, whether it be talking and listening or lending a helping hand.

At a recent meeting, I listened to Chuck speak about how important he felt it to be that the people of Maine continue to be able to live and find employment in this state, and that quality, affordable education be available to all our children. These are very important issues, and we, in District 9, should feel fortunate to have so capable a candidate running for office. Debora Seneca, R.N. Newport
