GUILFORD — Rep. Paul Stearns, R-Guilford has announced his intention to run for the Maine House of Representatives in District 119. Stearns is currently serving his second term in that seat.

“It is an honor to serve the hardworking people of Piscataquis County in Augusta” Stearns said. “We have done a decent job of getting the fiscal affairs of the state in order, but there is still a great deal of work to be done to make sure that essential government services are provided to the citizenry in an efficient and effective manner.”
