We support Ruth-Marie Spellman of Brewer who is running for the state Senate to represent an area on the eastern side of the Penobscot River including Brewer, Eddington, Orrington, Bucksport, Orland, Penobscot, Verona Island and Castine.

Spellman is a fiscally conservative, socially progressive Democrat who has served on the Brewer School Board for 29 years. She described her personal spending habits, as “we’ve never paid interest on anything but our home.” But she supports having Maine students have a high quality education. Obviously, having someone with her expertise in education in the Maine Senate would be a real asset.

We urge you to vote for Ruth-Marie Spellman for the Maine Senate in District 31.
