Ray Caron for Maine State House District 78

Ray Caron always has had a passion to serve and try to make a difference in his community.  He has always had pride from his humble background and ancestry.  He wants to give back to his community, state, and nation.  His ancestors sacrificed to start a new life in this community in the 1930’s.  He would love to continue in their footsteps to improve our communities and represent the citizens of Winslow and Benton.  

He is running for office because he feels with his experience with municipalities, he understands the effect that legislation has on local governments.  Working in the manufacturing sector he understands how legislation can have a negative effect on businesses. 

Ray Caron will represent every citizen independent on race, nationality, gender, or party affiliation.  I will make independent decision with input from all sectors of society and will represent my district with integrity, honesty, and compassion.   

Maine is a rural state and at the end of the transportation supply chain.  We need to make sure that products can reach markets by rail.  We must find a way to get rail transit back up to ensure low cost shipment of products to distribution and converting areas of the country.
