Portland Phoenix Endorses LaMarche
Maine needs a new way forward. Green Independent Pat LaMarche has plans for taking us in the direction we all say we want, but with different ideas and approaches than the ones that have us stuck where we are. Her ideas include real innovation to lower the cost of health care for both businesses and individuals, and she has a mindset that government must neither neglect society’s weakest members nor fail to boost its most promising rising stars.
It is time for real change, and Pat LaMarche will brighten the future of Maine. |
Maine has seen what LaMarche’s established-party opponents can do, with the likes of Democrat John Baldacci, Republican Chandler Woodcock, and longtime-Democrat-turned-independent Barbara Merrill. LaMarche would bring good people into her cabinet — including talented Republicans and Democrats with specialized expertise — to forge a multi-partisan approach based on what the best ideas are, without worrying about which party the brainstorm came from.
It is time for real change, and Pat LaMarche will brighten the future of Maine.
