Politics in our country are out of control. Partisan fighting and dark money influence have distracted our politicians from their real job - working for us. I am sick of it and I believe the people in our district are as well. That’s why I am running to represent the people of Hampden and Newburgh in the Maine State House.

In Augusta, infrastructure and workforce development will be two of my main priorities. Maine is changing quickly and we need traditional and trade schools to train the next generation to succeed here. We need to make Maine an ideal place to run your business while still protecting its beautiful environment. The idea that you can’t be an environmentalist and still be pro-industry is outdated. We can be pro-worker, pro-environment, and pro-business!

As your representative, I will meet you where you’re at and work to find common ground among the multitude of viewpoints in our community so that everyone feels represented. My work in local government, recycling, and other environmental issues has given me valuable experience in coalition building, speaking in front of members of the house, and policymaking. Let me put those skills to work for you.

I’m an experienced leader, a quick learner, and a great listener. I’ve been in the policy trenches in our community and in Augusta and I’ve seen what goes on. It’s time for a new approach! It’s going to take hard work to move Maine past the partisan blame games, but I’ll put in the work to bring us together to protect what’s working and fix what’s broken.
