Sen. Brenner welcomes Gorham High School basketball captain, Medical Provider of the Day to the Maine Senate

AUGUSTA – On Wednesday, Sen. Stacy Brenner, D-Scarborough, welcomed Ashton Leclerc, a senior at Gorham High School, and captain of the Gorham Varsity Boys Basketball team, to the State House. Sen. Brenner also welcomed Ashton’s mother Angela Leclerc, PA-MSPA and Lead Physician Assistant for Critical Care at Maine Medical Center in Portland, who served as the Senate Medical Provider of the Day.

“Ashton’s athletic achievements go beyond the realm of sports and statistics,” said Sen. Brenner. “It is a testament to the countless hours of practice, early mornings and late nights, and his relentless pursuit of excellence. I’m honored to welcome Ashton to the Senate chamber. I’m honored to also welcome our medical provider of the day Angela Leclerc, who also happens to be Ashton’s mother!”

Leclerc was presented with two legislative sentiments: one for reaching 1,000 career basketball points and another for winning the prestigious Vinall MVP Trophy for outstanding player and sportsmanship. Leclerc led the Gorham Rams to win the Class AA South Regional Final and will compete in the Class AA Boys Basketball State Championship on Saturday in Portland.

On session days, the Maine Medical Association coordinates the Medical Provider of the Day Program in the Maine State Legislature. Established in 1996, the Medical Provider of the Day Program is a unique opportunity for the medical providers to observe the legislative process in action and interact with lawmakers.
