Dear Editor:

After all is said and done, what’s the most important quality of a state representative?

In my book the answer is simple: a state rep. must know, and care about, her constituents. Sounds like Stephanie Hawke, doesn’t it?

Year after year, time after time, we have seen Stephanie come to the aid of our friends and neighbors. You hear about her work at public events and non-profits. But you don’t hear about her tireless one-on-one work in Augusta on behalf of her constituents. Why? Because it’s kinda private. Suffice it to say Stephanie has a 100 percent success rate in sticking up for her constituents.

Stephanie Hawke has been a conscientious, hard working representative. Please vote to return her to the State House. She’s one of us!
