The 2003 election is going to be very important for the citizens of Portland.

Our town has grown considerably over the last few years. Important projects are in the works, while taxes continue to increase. We've listened to controversies about ethics, schools, economic development, legal expenses, and upholding our democratic process.

(Run your curser over the image to see what the right leaders will do for the future of Portland.)

Now more than ever before we have to study the issues and vote our conscience. We need an experienced professional at the helm, and a solid team of selectmen working at her side. People we trust. People who will make a difference.

We hope to convince you that the Democratic ticket will provide the people of Portland with just the kind of leadership you need.
