BANGOR – Sara Stevens has announced that she is a Democratic candidate for the District 17 seat in the Maine House of Representatives. District 17 covers part of Bangor.

Stevens, who was born and raised in Bangor, graduated from Bangor High School and received bachelor of arts and master of science degrees from the University of Maine.

She currently serves as U.S. Rep. Michael Michaud’s district representative in the congressman’s Bangor office.

Stevens has served on the Maine Commission of Community Service, with AmeriCorps, and as a disaster relief volunteer with the American Red Cross.

As a member of the Bangor Region Leadership Institute Class of 2008, Stevens said she has worked diligently to implement the recommendations of the Governor’s Conference on Small Business. She said that providing opportunities for small business and jobs in the creative economy would be among her highest priorities in the Legislature.

She said she “recognizes the need to provide quality education for Maine children and provide ongoing training opportunities for new careers.”

Stevens said she is “dedicated to providing quality affordable health care for every Maine citizen” and also “recognizes that taxes have become an unfair burden to some of the citizens of Maine.”

Stevens may be reached at 942-8900 or at her Web site, electsarastevens.com.
