Dear Gorham Times,

I want to thank all the people who welcomed me at the Primary on June 10. I enjoyed meeting so many folks at the polls in Buxton and Gorham and appreciate the encouragement of so many friends and acquaintances.
    
I look forward to speaking with many more voters at their doors over the summer and early fall as my campaign continues. I feel it is very important to hear first hand an individual's thoughts and concerns. Thank you for your ongoing support.

Linda Sanborn
Candidate, House District 130
