I am writing in support for my state Sen. Elizabeth Schneider, Democrat for the Orono area. Elizabeth Schneider works tirelessly for our community. I have seen Elizabeth at every Orono High School student awards ceremony and graduation for the past four years. She can be seen at village festivals and church and charity events in Orono. Elizabeth even came to Leonard’s Mills last August in pouring rain and presented a State of Maine citation at my son Darren’s Eagle Scout ceremony.

Maybe there are other state politicians that attend town events during election years, but Elizabeth is visible and approachable all the time. Sen. Schneider not only gets out to the public frequently, but also she genuinely listens and talks with people in a caring manner.

She is a woman of credibility and loyalty. When she hears a concern, she takes action, a true woman of her word. I view her as a woman who is passionate about her work and her community.
