I am writing today to endorse Steve Woods as the clear choice to represent the interests of District 25 in the Maine Senate.

I first met Steve almost 15 years ago and was immediately impressed with his business acumen.

As a development officer at major universities and health care institutions for 40 years, I have had the opportunity to interact with business and community leaders from across the country.

Steve is cut from the same successful cloth.

My experience has also shaped my perspective on the critical and complicated issues that surround education and health care.

Steve’s experiences as an educator and as a health services provider ensure informed stewardship, and his contributions to area nonprofit organizations and local government further demonstrate his commitment to broadening access and opportunities in both areas.

Most candidates speak to the importance of improved business, education and health care conditions. Steve Woods has proven he can deliver.
