Dear Friend,
It is official. I launched my campaign for Register of Probate in Androscoggin County in March.
It has been my desire, since my time serving as Register in 2014, to run again, and return to serve
the people of Androscoggin County in the Probate office.
Three weeks from today, June 14th, Republican voters will go to the polls and choose who they
will nominate to run in the November election for our county's open Register of Probate seat.
I am asking for your support. ...And for your VOTE, if you live in this county!
My goal in running, to get back to Probate, is to bring my 8 months' experience in the Probate
court and Registry from 2014, my passion for the department and the staff there, my integrity,
hard work and caring for the people of this county, and my abilities with budgeting, management
and human resources, to improve things in every way that I can, over the upcoming 4 year term.
Important things happen in the Probate department. These include: guardianships and
conservatorships concerning adults and minors, the probate and the administration of estates, wills
and trusts, contests over the construction of wills and trusts, name changes, adoptions and related
termination of parental rights cases.
We need good people to work to protect the rights of the people of Androscoggin County
in relation to these matters, to serve them efficiently, effectively, and cooperatively with all
community resources, and with the Androscoggin County Commissioners and the Androscoggin
County Budget Committee, in a fiscally responsible manner.
This is why we need someone who is fully committed to work as the Register of Probate.
Governor LePage trusted me, to appoint me in 2014, and I hope you will trust me
and support me now, in 2016.
If you are interested, willing and able to contribute to my campaign, I could use your help, so that I
can pay for literature, signs and ads, as we close in on June 14th. The contribution limit per
person for a county race is $775. Any amount you can give will be greatly appreciated,
and will be put to good use. If you can contribute, please make out the check to:
Committee to Elect Joanna Said.
Thank you so much for your interest and for any help you can give to my campaign.
May God bless you, and may God bless Androscoggin County!

Sincerely,
Joanna R. (Dow) Said
