As a candidate for the legislature, I have received countless surveys from various organizations asking me for my views on the issues. Unfortunately, as I have been juggling my full-time job along with the task of knocking on doors in my district, I haven't had the time to answer all of the surveys. However I did I get a few important endorsements, which I would like to share with you:
Maine People's Alliance - Last winter I spent exactly one and a half days going door to door in the blistering cold for the citizen action group's affordable health care campaign. Ever since then I've had the utmost respect for this wonderful organization's dedication to crucial issues like health care, affordable housing, and protection against toxic chemicals. I am honored to have their endorsement.
Maine State Nurses Association - I have always respected the MSNA for their advocacy for patients' rights and affordable healthcare.
Maine Education Association - Education for our children requires investing in our teachers.
Maine State Employees Association - Labor union representing more than 15,000 public and private sector workers throughout Maine.

About Me
- Andrew O'Brien for District 44!
- My name is Andy O'Brien and I am the Democratic candidate for the Maine State House of Representatives in District 44, which includes Islesboro, Lincolnville, Hope, Appleton, Searsmont, Liberty and Morrill. I was born in Lincolnville, Maine and I attended local schools. From 2001 to 2007, I lived and worked in Taiwan as a teacher. In 2007, I returned to the US to pursue a degree in education. I was elected to the Maine House of Representatives in 2008. When I am not serving in the Legislature I work as a landscaper. I am currently in my second year of graduate school at the University of Southern Maine. These past two years have been rewarding and educational. Although our state continues to face hard times, I believe strongly that where there is hardship, there is opportunity. In my work, I have met countless local small business men and women who form the backbone of the Maine economy. As your representative in Augusta, I will continue to stand up for working Mainers and look for innovative ways to build a more sustainable local economy in which small businesses are supported and not hindered by state government.
