Lifelong Lisbon Resident announces her bid for State Representative Seat

LISBON FALLS – Janice ‘Chizmar’ Comber, a lifelong resident of Lisbon has announced her bid for the State Representative – District 104 (Lisbon and part of Lisbon Falls) seat. 

Comber is the daughter of Paul and Nancy Chizmar.  Former four-term State Representative Nancy Chizmar was running for State Senate when she passed away suddenly in 2002.   

Janice graduated from Lisbon High School in 1979.  She then attended Vermont College of Norwich University and graduated from the University of Maine at Farmington.   She has worked for the past 22 years for a major defense contractor in Bath, Maine. 

Comber served on the Lisbon School Committee where she was also a member of the Adult Education, Finance and Audit Boards.  She is a graduate of the Mid Coast Maine Leadership Institute and currently a 2010 Emerge Maine participant.  She made the decision to run after her 3-year term on the School Committee was complete.  

After seeing first hand the need for increased funding for Public Education she wants to bring her concerns and the concerns of all Lisbon residents to Augusta.  Comber says, “I saw first hand what my mother did for Public Education in this District.  I saw all the changes she made and I will continue to do that for Lisbon.”  

It’s time Lisbon once again had representation and a voice in Augusta.  Comber is also a proponent of Maine’s Community College system and sees the need to support them so our young men and women can get educated to attain jobs.  

She also is a proponent of all of our Veterans.  We need to continue to take care of ALL of our Veterans, young and old.
