Dear Editor:

I want to thank the people of Bremen, Bristol, Damariscotta, Monhegan Island, Newcastle, Nobleboro, South Bristol and the one registered voter on the unorganized territory of Louds Island. It is humbling and a great honor to return to Augusta to represent you.

I thank and recognize all my supporters who volunteered countless hours. And to all those folks along the way whose encouragement and advice kept me on an even keel, thank you.

I want to congratulate my opponent, Robin Mayer, on a well-fought campaign, and wish her all the best in her future endeavors.

As I knocked on my neighbor’s doors throughout our district, it became apparent to me that property taxes and the opiate crisis are the top concerns of our district. Additionally, many people stressed to me that maintaining a healthy marine environment is vital for commercial fishermen, processors, boat builders, restaurants, tourism and the many other industries which make-up our marine economy.

These three issues will be my priority as I return to represent you. Your input will be critical as we move forward.

Once again Maine’s House and Senate will remain split between the two parties with the Democrats in control of the House and the Republicans in control of the Senate. I remain committed to working across the aisle to advocate and fight for those issues that are important to the people of the Pemaquid peninsula and surrounding areas, and indeed all of Maine.

I make this solemn commitment to my constituents that I will work as hard as possible to represent you in the State House. It is humbling to have your support. Please feel welcome to contact me if you have questions or concerns (975-3132 or mick@mickdevin.org).

Mick Devin

State Representative

House District 90
