June 1, 2006
Democratic U. S. Senate candidate Jean Hay Bright has received a convention-eve endorsement from Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH).

In urging Maine Democrats to support her nomination in the June 13 primary, Kucinich said, "Jean can win in November because Maine is ready to vote for peace and sustainability."

"The tide is beginning to turn nationally," Kucinich said Thursday. "Jean's election to the Senate will spark a new beginning not only in Maine, but across America. Her courage and her heart are needed in the Senate."

Kucinich told the campaign that he appreciated Hay Bright's strong support of his presidential bid two years ago, when Hay Bright was an active volunteer in his effort in Maine. The Ohio Congressman said he expects to campaign for Hay Bright in the fall.

"Jean's election will bring to the Senate a much needed voice for peace, for single payer universal health care, and for the environment," Kucinich said.

The Maine Democratic Convention is Friday and Saturday, June 2 - 3, at the Augusta Civic Center.
Below is a message to Maine voters from Dennis Kucinich:

Dear Friend,

You and I share a great love for Maine, for its beauty, the rock-ribbed integrity of Mainers who are unafraid to take a stand and to therefore create new possibilities.

That is why I am urging you to support Jean Hay Bright for US Senate. Jean's election will bring to the Senate a much needed voice for peace, for single payer universal health care, and for the environment.

The tide is beginning to turn nationally. Jean's election to the Senate will spark a new beginning not only in Maine, but across America.. Her courage and her heart are needed in the Senate. Jean can win in November because Maine is ready to vote for peace and sustainability!

Please support her nomination.
