As a resident of a coastal town in Senate District 7, I am particularly concerned with the effects of climate change on our town, county, and state. The rising tides are causing erosion along the coast and threaten such infrastructure as sewage plants, wharves, and causeways. Rising temperatures in our bays threaten our fisheries and marine resources, thus threatening the main economic engine of Down East Maine. There is one candidate who stands out for her knowledge, leadership, and commitment to protecting the Down East environment. In her years as a state representative and now as a state senator, Nicole Grohoski has proven to be an outspoken and strong advocate for environmental issues. ~ Warren Berkowitz, Blue Hill
