"In times of great uncertainty, people understandably seek leadership. Steve Abbott personifies leadership. It is reflected in who he is as a person, parent and professional. It is evident in his work, his life and his very persona. Consequently, his candidacy is timely. Our country and our state are enduring times of great economic uncertainty. As a result, many Mainers are looking for a candidate who understands the magnitude of the situation and is capable of leading us through this troubled time. To me, Steve possesses the skills and the character required of such a leader. Steve will have broad appeal and broad support. I would encourage everyone to get out and meet Steve to see for themselves what I know to be true about Steve Abbott."

"I've known Steve Abbott for a number of years and have worked with him during that time on issues relating to Maine and the state's business climate. Anyone who knows Steve Abbott or has worked with him comes away with a positive impression. In the 12 years that he has worked with Senator Collins, he has gained invaluable experience and has developed many relationships at the federal level. He has a tremendous work ethic, superior intelligence, and integrity. Those qualities, coupled with his knowledge of Maine and his proven commitment to the state's people, will make him an excellent Governor."

"I've known Steve Abbott for a lot of years. In all that time, he has consistently proven himself to be incredibly intelligent, compassionate, and a man of unwavering integrity and honesty. Steve understands the economic challenges facing our state and has a well thought out and effective plan for tackling those challenges head on. I care very deeply about the economic health and vitality of our state and I will be voting for Steve Abbott. In my opinion, he is the only candidate in the race who has consistently demonstrated that he has the experience and capability to successfully navigate the enormous economic challenges ahead of us. There is a reason why he already has such powerhouses as Pete Vigue and Peter Cianchette on his team - Steve Abbott has the experience, ability, and strength of character that will be required to begin to turn this state around. I urge you all to take the time to learn more about Steve; if you care about the future of small businesses and jobs in Maine, as I do, I am certain you will like what you see."

"I have always looked for candidates for office that have 3 important characteristics, they need to have a high degree of honesty and integrity in the content of their character, a real understanding of the depth and breadth of the problems that someone in the office that they are seeking will face, and the strong belief in limited government and protecting personal liberty. Steve Abbott fits that description to the letter. In these tough economic times we need a Governor who will fight for the working people of Maine and lead a team to make Maine the way life should be again. – Steve Abbott is that leader."
