Hon. Robert Foley | House District 145

Robert, an insurance agent with Cole Harrison in Kennebunk, served as a selectman in Wells from 1994 through 2012 and spent eight of those years as chair. He also has served as a State Representative and State Senator in Augusta.
“Today, as I look at what is happening in Augusta, it looks more like California than Maine,” Foley wrote. “The attempts at decriminalization of fentanyl and heroin possession, eliminating the electoral college to select the president, creating housing for non-citizens while Maine seniors and homeless Mainers have no options, and the over collection of taxes with an ever-expanding state budget, are just some of the issues the next legislature needs to address.
“Let’s bring back the Maine we all love and want to live in. Let’s make sure that Maine remains the way life should be, a place to live, work and raise a family. That goal will be the primary focus of my campaign.”
