House District 6

Fort Fairfield area

Republican

Tyler Clark

Age: 23

Hometown: Easton

Address: P.O. Box 243 Easton, ME 04740

Education: Business management major, University of Maine at Presque Isle

Family: Single

Occupation: Retail manager

Reason for running: Legislators in Augusta have broken their promise of no new taxes or tax increases. Now they have given us school consolidation, which is going to raise our taxes and take away local control of our schools. This is unacceptable. I will go to Augusta to hold the line on spending, reduce out taxes and fees and return local control to our rural schools.

Democrat

Kyle Green

Age: 27

Hometown: Westfield

Address: PO Box 133, Westfield, ME 04787-0133

Education: Presque Isle High School; course work in music education at University of Southern Maine; enrolled as business administration major at University of Maine Presque Isle

Family: Single

Occupation: Programmer-analyst, MMG Insurance, Presque Isle

Experience: Board of Selectmen, town of Westfield

Reason for running: I’m running because House District 6 needs a representative ready to work on all of the issues facing Mainers without being bogged down by any single issue. I’ve brought a methodical approach – a steady hand and calming influence – to the Westfield Board of Selectmen. I look forward to bringing that same approach to Augusta.
