Pebworth Running for Re-Election to Maine House

BLUE HILL—State Rep. Sarah Pebworth (D-Blue Hill) announced she is seeking re-election for Maine House of Representative in District 133, comprised of Blue Hill, Brooklin, Brooksville, Castine, Sedgwick, and Surry. 
 

“In 2018 I ran promising that I would serve as a bridge to Augusta. Communication and transparency are keystones of an effective government. I have hosted informational meet and greets, written newspaper columns and letters to the editors, kept up a website and a Facebook page, and sent newsletters, electronic and paper, to help citizens stay aware of what’s happening at the State House,” Pebworth said. 

Pebworth was appointed to the State and Local Government Committee, which has worked on legislation supporting Maine’s towns and cities as they adapt to 21st century challenges like sea level rise and housing shortages. 

“When I knocked on doors and then took the oath of office to serve as state representative, I promised to push for legislation that would expand health care coverage, lift up working Maine families, support schools, improve broadband access, and provide meaningful property tax relief. There is so much more to do but I’m really proud of the work the 129th Legislature has accomplished,” she said. 

“In my time as a freshman legislator, I’ve attended many trainings and informational sessions on topics ranging from negotiation to early childhood education to aquaculture. Voters trusted me to use my two-year term wisely and I have. Now I’m asking them to let their investment in me pay off,” Pebworth noted in a press release.
