Maine Families for Vaccines released a slate of 11 candidate endorsements Thursday, including Hess. The group selected incumbents with pro-vaccine voting records and first-time candidates who say they are committed to advancing public health policy.

“We know how important it is to have people in Augusta who are going to vote in favor of immunization and for safety for our kids and healthy communities,” Gilmet said. “We really want people in office who are going to listen to their communities, and are going to make the best decisions about schools and businesses being opened.”
