Dale Denno Cancer
In August 2018, Dale Denno disclosed his lung cancer diagnosis. He said in a statement:
“As Representative for District 45, I want to share some unfortunate news: I have been diagnosed with lung cancer. I believe that it is my ethical responsibility to be transparent in every possible way as the voters make their decisions, and I consider the voters to have the right to information relating to a candidate’s health.
“Fortunately, I’m working with a wonderful oncologist, who believes that my otherwise clear lungs and overall good health are in my favor. I begin treatment next week, and I am optimistic that I will respond well. Many of you have experienced cancer in your own life or your family’s, and you know this is always a tough battle. But I will be doing everything I can to fight this awful disease.
“During the period of treatment, I will continue to knock on doors, put up signs, and engage with the voters whenever I can. I believe that the issues facing Maine are serious, and I want to be part of their solution. My passion for public service is undiminished, and I am grateful for the opportunity to represent my community in Augusta. If elected in November, I promise I will work hard to stand up for the principles that have always guided me.
“To all of you who are volunteering your time and talents to my campaign, I can never thank you enough. And to all of you who greet me at your doors with warmth and hospitality, your encouragement means the world to me. I consider myself a lucky man to live in this supportive community, and in this beautiful state.”
