LETTERS: Wayne Farrin embodies life in Midcoast Maine

To the editor:

One of the most positive experiences my family has enjoyed since we moved to Jefferson three years ago has been getting to know people in the community.

Among those whom we have met, Wayne Farrin stands out with his constant and clear dedication to his family, his community, and his sincere desire to seek practical solutions to the problems we face. Coming from a family with deep roots in Lincoln County, he understands the diverse needs of the district and has started and operated successful businesses that strengthen and build up the towns and is part and parcel of the community spirit that makes this such a special place in which to live. Unsurprisingly, Wayne also volunteers his time and knowledge in so many ways, it is clear how much it means to him to pitch in wherever needed. This alone shows anyone he meets how much he cares.

He will make us proud in Augusta.

LETTERS: Business owner supports Farrin

To the editor:

As a small business owner, I know how exciting – and challenging – it can be to start up and keep your dream alive.

That’s why I am enthusiastically voting for Wayne Farrin as Maine’s State House Representative of District #47 (Alna, Jefferson, Whitefield, and Wiscasset).

Having spoken to him personally about the importance of our local businesses, our small town main streets, and our incredible community here in Maine, I am confident that Wayne is the candidate who will best support our business owners and local economy.

Wayne’s policy proposals are smart and practical. As a business owner himself, he deeply understands what’s working as well as what’s needed. And he truly cares about lifting up and supporting all folks in our community.

No matter your political party, I hope you join me in investing in Maine’s vibrant businesses and communities by voting for Wayne Farrin in November.

LETTERS: Wayne Farrin listens to your worries

To the editor:

Forty years ago, I moved to Wiscasset from “away,” and ever since, my husband’s been explaining to me what it means to be a real Mainer. He’s talked about honesty, resourcefulness, and independence. He’s mentioned optimism and the willingness to lend a hand. Wayne Farrin, candidate for state representative in District #47 (Alna, Jefferson, Whitefield, and Wiscasset), has these qualities. Wayne, who has worked hard since he was a little boy in South Bristol, now balances two jobs: real estate agent and co-owner, with his wife, of the Jefferson Market. In both, he meets all kinds of people. He listens to their worries and their joys. He wants to tackle problems that affect our whole community, including the lack of affordable housing and the difficulty of running a small business. Wayne is the genuine article. (My husband agrees!) Regardless of your political party, give Wayne your vote on November 5.
