Poliquin endorses Torbett for commissioner

To the Editor;

“I’ve known Andy Torbett and his wonderful family for 10 years. He’s running for the important position of Piscataquis County commissioner. Please vote for Andy. He’s the right person for the job.

Andy and his lovely wife Sara have three terrific kids; they embrace traditional family values. He’s a fiscal conservative who’s been running a successful small construction business for 30 years. He understands that you should only spend what you take in — critical to running government at any level.

As a small business owner, Andy has experienced up close why elected officials should support our small businesses with lower taxes and fewer regulations. That helps create jobs and paychecks which our Piscataquis County families depend on. Andy gets it because he’s lived it.

The most effective government is the one which limits intrusion in our lives and is closest to home. Andy practices this cornerstone of Maine home rule. He knows the best decisions for our families are made in the small towns of Piscataquis County, not in Augusta or Washington.

A recovering economy with more jobs; families safe in their homes; kids back at school; and honesty and integrity in government — that’s what Andy Torbett stands for. I enthusiastically endorse Andy for your county commissioner. He’ll do a great job. I hope you’ll vote for him.”
