As we approach the Nov. 4 elections, we should all give serious thought to determine who can best represent us in Washington.

We need a person who is honest, intelligent, caring, dependable, of great integrity and one who will work hard to help solve our nation’s problems during these trying times.

Susan Collins is that person to return to the U.S. Senate from Maine. She is a great senator who has certainly proved over the past few years that she can and will work diligently across party lines. She is able to look at the big picture and then, in a bipartisan way, take action to find the right solutions for our state and country.

We, as a state and as a nation need Susan Collins in the Senate.
