PORTLAND PRESS HERALD ENDORSES WILLIAMS
Key Endorsement in Maine Democratic Primary

I think I’ll let the Portland Press Herald speak for itself:

For any job, finding the right candidate comes down to more than qualifications. There’s also the issue of “fit.”

In the two primary races for seats in the Maine House representing Portland, fit is an important consideration, and one that has led us to endorse Mary Beth Williams for the Democrats in District 116 [...].

In the Democratic primary, voters are faced with a choice between an energetic and well-informed newcomer in Williams and a well-established political veteran in former Portland Mayor Charles Harlow.

Williams, a former teacher, would be joining a seasoned and competent delegation of lawmakers from Portland, so her lack of political experience is not concerning. She’ll be going to Augusta at a time, too, when new thinking is needed.

Williams displays a deep knowledge and understanding of the issues. More importantly, she appears to have a flair for creative thinking in attacking them. […]

Elect Williams!

And with that, I’m outta’ here, on leave to the Williams campaign, until Wednesday.
