Political experience
I have served 9 years as a selectman for the town of Wilton and have served 6 years in the Maine House.
Why are you running for office?
To help stimulate the economy so we have more jobs and have a broader tax base. To help preserve and protect the natural resources we have here in the State for future generations. To be a voice for people in my district that are not being heard or have issues that have not been taken care of.
-
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?
-
Minimum Wage:
In light of the ballot question facing voters this fall, do you support raising the state’s minimum wage from $7.50 to $12 an hour by 2020?
-
Marijuana: Do you support legalization of marijuana for recreational use?
-
Addiction/Overdoses: Do you believe the state is doing enough in response to the rise in heroin/opiate addiction and overdoses? If not, what else should be done?
