BANGOR DAILY NEWS (BANGOR, MAINE

I am writing to endorse John Baldacci in his campaign for the 2nd District House seat.

As a commissioner for the Portland Housing Authority, I have had many instances in the past two years to contact Rep. Baldacci in regard to legislation regarding both public housing issues and community development legislation. Even though I was not from his district, I was always treated with great respect, and he and his staff worked diligently on the numerous housing issues that have faced this Congress. He gave us input into legislation, most of which benefited all Maine citizens as well as those of Portland. He always got back to us with answers to our questions and an explanation as to why, if he differed from the opinion that we held.

Washington needs more intelligent, honest and forthright representation, but most of all, people who respond to those people who have elected them to office. Even though I cannot officially vote for Rep. Baldacci, as I am not a resident of the 2nd District, I want people there to know he represents Maine as a whole. Paula L. Weitz Portland
