2024 – Maine House, lost
Top Three Priorities
Cybersecurity protections for Maine Retaining our teachers in Maine by increasing their pay and benefits Water protections — Wells running dry, water leaving our state
Why are you running?
Last Spring (2026), I was honored to help write a bill with Julia McCabe (D-Lewiston), to increase cybersecurity protections for our Maine hospitals. It was signed into law in April 2026. It was very apparent that the House needs people well versed in vCybersecurity so we can protect our schools, businesses and our population. I have the skills to write bills, proposals and testify on many issues that will help Mainers.
What is one way Maine is on the right track? What is one way the state is on the wrong track?
Maine is on the right track standing up to ICE, and standing up to the corruption in DC. Maine is on the wrong track on teacher’s salaries, especially to retain newly graduated teachers in rural districts.
As one of several dozen legislators in your chamber, how would you make a measurable difference for your constituents?
As an educator in our local schools and colleges for 20 plus years, I hope to bring a voice to the House that will help our schools and educators by voicing the concerns of my constituents and other school districts in Maine. As an educator, researcher and public speaker I am very persuasive and get things done! If the issue is something that people are passionate about, I engage quickly and do not rest till it’s resolved.
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?
An Act to Protect the Right to Food SP 50, LD 124 As an active farmer/gardener, we need to keep our rights to grow and maintain our own food and thus release anxiety on food security. Community programs like this bill are important to ensure all Mainers have food sovereignty.
