Kennebunk Inn.  Tuesday, at 5:30 p.m. That’s when and where I urge local citizens to drop in and listen to the man I hope will become our next Congressman, York County District Attorney Mark Lawrence.  

 Mark has outstanding credentials and a good head on his shoulders, and he is exactly the strong and intelligent advocate that Maine needs.  That’s why my House colleague, Rep. Gary Connor, and I are hosting “an after work conversation with Mark” at the Inn on May 13, and we invite you to hear Mark’s responses to your concerns.   

Mark has York County roots, has a wife and two children, and degrees from from Bowdoin and the UMaine School of Law.  He served 12 years in the Maine Legislature.  He was twice unanimously elected to be President of the Senate, a position second only to the Governor.

Mark is currently serving as District Attorney to the nearly 200,000 citizens of York County, a post for which he has won election three times.

Mark’s record of public service is long, especially in pursuit of civil rights, civil justice, and environmental protection.  His strong legal background, history of leadership, and respect for the Constitution give him the experience and qualities necessary to demand accountability in Washington.

June 10 is fast approaching, and the Democratic primary is where the excitement is.  Concerned citizens, including independents, who are looking for a candidate will find a good one at the Kennebunk Inn on Tuesday. Please join us.

Rep. Christopher W. Babbidge
