State House and Senate candidates from across Aroostook County joined the Aroostook County Chapter of Credit Unions and the Maine Credit Union League at a candidates reception at the Aroostook Valley Country Club on August 16.

“We are grateful to all of the candidates who attended our reception last week in Fort Fairfield,” said Elise Baldacci, Vice President of Governmental Affairs.  “The event provided credit union staff an opportunity to hear directly from the candidates and learn more about their campaigns. It also provided us a chance to highlight all of the great work our credit unions are doing in their local communities, especially as it relates to our Ending Hunger initiative.”

Nine candidates representing both sides of the political aisle turned out for the special event which followed the Chapter’s annual golf outing.
