March 10 Special Election: Hard Work Dedication Loyalty All In One Candidate Jim Kalloch

Jim Kalloch comes from ancestors that have deep roots in the mid coast region of Maine. There are records that show the Kalloch family settled in the Warren/St. George region of Maine in 1735. There is a genuine connection to this area that is inherently apparent in Jim Kalloch.

The name Kalloch is synonymous with hard work & service, and that is something that Jim Kalloch knows a lot about.

Jim Kalloch has lived in this area his entire life leaving only to serve his country in both the Marines and the US Navy. When Jim returned to Rockland he started a business, Penobscot Ferry and Transport and continued his dedication to serving others by becoming a Boy Scout leader and serving on the school board.

This a special election that is being held on Tuesday, March 10th 2015. The last election was won by Elizabeth Dickerson who vacated her post to move out of state. That was a very close race indeed, the vote totals were 1,744 Dickerson to 1,612 for Jim Kalloch. To have invested his time, energy and resources once and to be willing to do it all over again, truly shows a desire to serve his area and the voters of District 93!

Jim Kalloch - for State Representative - Special Election March 10, 2015

Jim Kalloch (R) of Rockland has decided his desire to serve the voters of Maine is worth another shot. After 30 years of serving his country in both the US Marine Corp. and the US Navy, Jim Kalloch came home to Rockland to open a small business, Penobscot Ferry and Transport and to serve on the local school board.

During his time on the school board, Jim knew that education through vocational and technical training were key to improving the lives of Maine's school children. Jim wants to help just as he did on the local level and to make a difference on a state level to open up opportunities that will help keep Maine's young adults here.

As most Mainers do, Jim believes that our roads need repairing and that can be accomplished through fees collected for auto registration and gasoline taxes, money sometimes rerouted for other purposes and that should go for what it is intended.

As a state, Maine needs to keep businesses here and attract businesses to call Maine their new home through tax incentives & a friendly business environment

Jim knows Maine needs a sound fiscal policy not a tax more and spend more mentality. Responsible taxation and spending accountability are key to a successful state.

When did Elizabeth Dickerson know that she wanted to move to Colorado? Who knows for sure besides Dickerson  What we do know is that Dickerson won the midterm election but not by much. The vote totals were 1,744 Dickerson to 1,612 for Jim Kalloch. And now with Elizabeth Dickerson resigning her post and a special election being held on March 10th 2015, voters have a chance to make it right.

Jim Kalloch is here to stay in the state he calls home. Jim would be proud to represent and fight for you and your family just as he has done all of his life.

Follow Jim and remember to vote in this special election on or before March 10, 2015. To find out more about Jim find him on Facebook.
