Voting for Holly Stover

Dear Editor:

I plan to vote for Holly Stover for House District 89 representative. Before I got to know Holly through church and mutual friends, I knew her by reputation. So often, when people were in crisis or without resources, the best advice was to ask Holly Stover. She would know how to help-abused women, families with addiction problems, hungry children. Sometimes it’s hard to distinguish Holly’s professional position from her volunteer work because she is always available. In last week’s paper, for example, Police Chief Hatch warned about dangerous drugs and suggested those in crisis call Holly on her cell phone.

Native to Boothbay, Holly knows the community and cares deeply about it. She will work for the issues I care about-affordable housing, access to health care, support for education and job training. Her experience working in the state system and social work field prepare her to be an effective legislative leader. I want her voice in Augusta representing me, and I hope many other residents will, too.
