I am a lifelong Maine environmental activist, presently living in Portland’s West End, and I support Charles Skold for the Democratic nomination for District 38 state representative.
Charles has a strong commitment to maintaining a clean environment in our state, and I’m sure he will maintain that strong commitment when he is a member of the Legislature.
Charles is a strong supporter of reducing carbon emissions in the air over Maine. He knows that climate change will have a massive , negative impact on Maine and that dependence on carbon must be reduced to very low amounts.
Over the last 60 years, I have had many roles in Maine’s environmental movement. I’m encouraged to see today’s young people pushing toward even greater action. Charles will make a great legislator, and I ask that you give him your strong support.
