I write this to inform the citizens of Windham that I
will not at this time seek to be re-elected to the Maine House of
Representatives in the new house district 24. I am however happy to see Windham
has grown enough over the last decade to have two representatives solely for
Windham. Over two years ago when my former employer decided to move the company
out of state I decided to stay home not moving to the south where my job went. From
that my wife and I considered becoming self-employed starting my own sales
company as a manufacturer’s representative. Doing so has created a wonderful
opportunity for me, not only for income but also helping other companies obtain
business through my contacts in the industry I came from. My wife has also
retired during my term giving us the opportunity to do some traveling, spend
time with our family.
Winning or losing the next election was never a
consideration. With the support I have received over the last two years my confidence
level of success was high. I never say never to anything in life, so who knows
in a few years you might see my name on a ballot again. That said I will say
our current political atmosphere is not working well in Augusta. One side of
the aisle wants nothing more than to spend your money in liberal programs
causing to us to raise taxes taking more and more of your hard earned dollars. Constant
fighting between the parties trying to make each other look bad going into the
fall elections is the norm. It has not been a great two years in the chambers
of the State house.
Lastly I do want to say a big “Thank You” to all of those
who voted for me and to all who have contacted me with their opinions whether
they agreed with me or not. I do enjoy working for the people of the district. Please
do not forget that I am your representative until December, so please if my
help is needed for state issues contact me.
Rep. Thomas Tyler
represents District 110 that covers parts of Windham and Gray.
