Dave Hastings Begins Second Term in State Senate

FOR IMMERDIATE RELEASE

DECEMBER 12, 2006

On Wednesday, December 6, the 123^rd Legislature officially began, when Governor John Baldacci swore all Maine State Senators and Representatives into office. Among those who assumed office that day was Republican Senator Dave Hastings.

Representing District #13, Hastings, of Fryeburg, serves the people of Baldwin, Bridgton, Harrison, Naples and Sebago in Cumberland County, and Brownfield, Denmark, Fryeburg, Hiram, Norway, Otisfield, Oxford, Paris and Porter in Oxford County.

Hastings, beginning his second term in the State Senate, defeated Democrat challenger Marjorie Medd and Independent challenger Nelson Foley on Election Day. His victory helped the Republicans increase their margin in the Senate. With 17 seats, Republicans are poised to work alongside the Democrats to advance a truly bipartisan agenda for the State of Maine.

“I am truly honored that the people of District #13 have re-elected me to represent them in the Senate,” Hastings said. “I look forward to continue working for my constituents, and encourage them to come to me with any questions or concerns they may have. The opportunity to give back to my community, and work for the changes that our state needs is one I will never take for granted.”

Senator Hastings can be reached by calling the Senate Republican office at 287-1505, or by calling 935-3175, or e-mailing dhastings@hastings-law.net.
