Unsuccessfully sought House District 150 seat in 2024.
Top Three Priorities
Property taxes, specifically for seniors; reducing the cost of living for Maine’s working residents; and energy costs.
Why are you running?
I am disappointed with the way and direction of our state government for the last eight years. Budgets have exploded, and taxes have driven out businesses and workers, leaving our state economy in rough shape. My financial background gives me a perspective that few have and the ability to set us on a path for growth.
What is one way Maine is on the right track? What is one way the state is on the wrong track?
Right track: We have an abundance of natural beauty and shoreline which we treasure and protect. Wrong track: Our current leaders are prioritizing illegal immigrants over our citizens, and that is unfair, unsustainable and unethical.
As one of several dozen legislators in your chamber, how would you make a measurable difference for your constituents?
I think my expertise gives me a unique ability to see financial solutions that others struggle to resolve and identify. There are solutions that are win-win, not taking for one group to give to another.
Surveys show the economy is the top concern of voters. What is a specific proposal addressing Maine voters’ economic anxieties that you’d work to make law?
That is in my wheelhouse. I have solved and created solutions to some of the most complex investment trading conundrums. It takes experience and lots of relational knowledge to understand how things work. This isn’t a “we need money so we tax more” solution or a we need affordable housing, so seniors will have to bear the burden for that generation. There are solutions that will help both segments.
