I am writing this letter urging you to support Lyle Cramer, candidate for the Maine State House of Representatives, District 125.

I first met Lyle at a Saccarappa PTO Halloween party 30 years ago. Lyle was the PTO chairman, and he encouraged me to become involved. Not only did I become involved in the PTO, but in Lyle’s campaigns as well as working with him in support of other candidates and various community activities. Over the ensuing years, I have been blessed with the opportunity to truly get to know both Lyle and his wife, Jan.

I am continually impressed with Lyle’s ability to accomplish so much in a very quiet, unassuming manner. He is incredibly organized, focused, hardworking and committed. Lyle has been a Westbrook city councilor and has served Cumberland County as a commissioner. I have always found him willing to listen to different points of view, willing to process new information, and always responsive to the constituents he represents.

Lyle is able to balance his family, friends, church, community, and diverse interests in a healthy and productive manner.

I wish all of you could have the opportunity to know Lyle as I do. You would come to know him as a man who is truly honest, does what he says he is going to do, is extremely practical, wisely frugal, passionate about what he believes in, and most of all, cares very deeply about what is happening in our government at all levels.

If you elect Lyle Cramer as your representative, he will update you regularly about what is happening in Augusta, he will return your phone calls, he will care about your views and you will be glad you supported him.

Jo Ann T. Calderbank,

Westbrook
