To the Editor:

Well-informed, dedicated and decent women who do not fall within the definition of the term "nasty" would like to express our support for the candidate whose attributes are consistent with what WE deem to be the necessary values integral to lead our great state toward a healthy and prosperous future.

This person has demonstrated a strong and independent voice for our communities. He has fought to rid the state of its increasingly devastating opioid crisis. He worked to protect our kids against lead poisoning. He has endeavored tirelessly to improve our schools. Remarkably, he knows that we can achieve these objectives while cutting taxes and defending the public AGAINST increased regulations.

He is Sen. Andy Sanborn and he is the only candidate community-minded women of substance can get behind.
