Why are you running for office?
I’m running for office, because I want to make a positive difference in the lives of Maine’s families. Partisan politics is preventing common-sense legislative action to address the needs of Maine’s seniors, workers, families, and businesses.

Income Tax: Gov. LePage would like to lower Maine’s income tax rate and eventually eliminate it, by increasing the state’s sales tax and expanding it across a broader range of goods and services. Do you support this proposal?

Background Checks: Do you support background checks for privately sold firearms in Maine?
