"I believe Mike Scott will represent Auburn, Poland, New Gloucester, and Durham professionally, intelligently, and with common sense and courage. While I was in the Maine House of Representatives, I was honored to work with Mike when he represented the Auburn firefighters working with Maine legislators on issues involving unions, safety, labor, and many others. I worked closely with Mike on the successful effort to remove Deca, a poor-quality flame retardant that causes cancer when it burns, from Maine homes. Maine was one of the first states to do so leading toward a national ban."
