Rick Burns for Maine State Senate District 2

“Rick is a man of action. During the floods of 2006 and 2007 Rick was out knocking on doors to see what he could do to help. When no one else would listen to our needs, Rick did more — he took action to help and continues to do so.”

Steve White, Lebanon, Maine

“Representative Burns is the kind of legislator working class people need. Whether its workers rights or water rights he is right there confronting the powerful entrenched corporate managers that are sacrificing our liberties and our earth for their selfish gain. I have watched him take on the insurance industry over universal single payer health insurance and now he is fighting to protect this and future generations from the water stealing corporate thugs.

The working people of Maine are desperate for legislators like Representative Burns who put the interests of working people first.

Having Richard Burns in the Senate will be like having a bulldog in a chicken coop. It’s guaranteed the feathers will fly and the corporate interests will squawk because Burns will speak truth to power.”

Peter Kellman – President of the Southern Maine Labor Council – AFL-CIO.

“Rick Burns is truly concerned about the welfare of children and their families. He sees the connection between the health of families and the strength of their community. Rick will work to ensure Maine is a place where generations of families will be able to learn, work, and lead productive lives.”

Deb Herring, Wells, Maine

“Unlike most politicians who tell you what you want to hear, Burns listens and helps get the job done.”

Richard Allard, Lebanon, Maine

“I appreciate everything he’s done for us in Lebanon and when you call him he comes right out!”

James Moyer, Lebanon, Maine

“Rick Burns is truly concerned about the issues affecting the “little guy”and is passionate about fighting for the best interests of all of his constituents, regardless of party affiliation.

He is a man of action who is not afraid to stand up to lobbyists and government officials to help protect and assist those he is elected to serve/represent. (He has intervened on our behalf more than once and we know of many instances in which he has done the same for others in our district.)

He listens, he cares, and he responds to the needs of working class families and retired citizens. You deserve to have such a man fighting for you in the Maine State Senate!”

Dick and Jean Noel, Campaign managers for Rick Burns

“I’m a devout independent because of the crap we get from both sides of the aisle, but I will vote for Rick Burns on election day because of his reason for running in the first place, as well as his dedication to my cause, as well as other peoples causes I have spoken to! You’re the type of representative we’ve been missing in this messed up system!”

Don Hollenbeck, Lebanon

“Rick Burns is one of the most important elected officials in the State of Maine. He has worked for the people, and always done what is right. As a House paige, campaign volunteer and friend, I consider it an honor and privledge to work with a great man like Mr. Burns. He knows what ALL public office holders should be doing, and he has inspired me to continue running for political office later on in life. He is truly a man of his word, and I think that he will do a superb job in the Maine State Senate and will always work of the people.”

Jared Johnson, Berwick, Maine
