Dr. Evans will continue to make a difference

To the Editor;

I am writing in support of Dr. Richard Evans’s reelection to the State House to represent District 31. In his first term, Dr. Evans sponsored bills that will address essential needs in our district — to make it easier to access health care, to increase options for health care coverage, to find ways to prevent deaths due to opioid overdose — and those bills have been signed into law. I am voting for Dr. Evans so that he can continue to make a difference in issues of such great importance.

I am also voting for Dr. Evans for his coalition-building skills. As Maine’s senior delegate to the American Medical Association, Dr. Evans has described staying up far into the night, discussing AMA resolutions in order to reach consensus with his fellow delegates. Dr. Evans has the experience necessary to encourage cooperation between representatives in the State House and to negotiate the best outcomes for our region.

Whether you live in Atkinson Township, Brownville, Dover-Foxcroft, Lake View Plantation, Medford, Milo, or Orneville Township, Dr. Richard Evans is working for you. We need his steady voice, his calm manner, and his coalition-building experience back in the State House. Vote for Dr. Evans on Nov. 8!
