Dear Editor:

We are about to have another great opportunity to vote for our values in the upcoming midterm election on Nov. 3. While it might be true that Troy Jackson does not have the political polish and resources of Susan Collins, I see that as a good thing. He speaks like a true Mainer, clear and to the point.

He believes we all deserve a living wage and a public option healthcare plan that stays with you no matter where you work or how many hours per week you work. What a novel idea! Actually no … many European nations have been enjoying government run health insurance for many years. Why can't we?

For any of you who are still undecided, please vote for Troy to help make affordable healthcare a reality for everyone. We can't wait any longer. It's time for a change.
