Steve Dyer announces his candidacy for District
47
|
Rockland, ME - February
18, 2008 -
The
Knox County Republicans are pleased to announce that Steve
Dyer (Rockland) has decided to run for the District 47 seat
currently held by Rep. Ed Mazurek (Rockland). He is
running as a clean election candidate. To help Steve raise the fifty $5.00 donations
required under the Maine Clean Election Act, click here to
contribute $5.00.
District 47 includes Rockland and
part of Owls Head and was formerly held by Deb McNeil
(Rockland).
Steve is a native son of Rockland and
graduated from Rockland District High School in 1983.
While in high school, Steve was a member of the football team
coached by Ed Mazurek and viewed him as his mentor and still
has the utmost respect to Ed as a person. However, Steve
sees that the policies of the Democrat Party and, most
recently, Ed, have caused harm to the state and jeopardizes
its future, hence the reason behind his decision to run for
the state legislature.
Following Steve's graduation
from high school and a two year stint as a Rockland police
officer, he became part of the state's largest export: its
young people. He moved to New Hampshire in 1989 and
attended Southern New Hampshire University graduating magna
cum laude in 1995 with a Bachelor of Science degree in
Economics and Finance. Following that, he was an intern
in the White House Office of Administration and then completed
his master's coursework in Management and Systems at New York
University. He has completed his master's degree in
Pastoral Ministry and is currently working on his Doctor of
Theology at Master's International School of
Divinity.
Steve has owned and operated a number of
small businesses over the past 15 years. He currently
holds licenses as a real estate agent, an insurance agent and
a mortgage broker. At present, he is working as a real
estate agent with Jaret and Cohn Real Estate in Rockland and
teaches Algebra at MidCoast Christian Academy in Rockland, a
private high school he helped found in 2007. He is the
Youth Pastor at the Littlefield Memorial Baptist Church on
Waldo Avenue in Rockland.
Steve has set three goals for
when elected:
1. Reduce the overall taxes on Maine
residents.
2. Bring down the cost of health
insurance.
3. Attract new business to the
state.
Steve and his wife, Amy, live on Lake Avenue
with their two children: Ryan, age 6, and Meaghan, age
4.
