Top Three Priorities
We need legislation that safeguards against increasing data center and AI driven initiatives. Protecting people’s jobs from AI, our environment from data centers, and our privacy from surveillance is critical. We need to address property tax concerns both for short term relief and long term sustainability for individuals and towns. Addressing childcare availability and affordability is greatly needed to encourage young families to start and keep their lives in Maine.
Why are you running?
I am running to represent Windham because it is time for younger individuals to step up to the plate. As a parent of two young children, it is important to me that we make sure our basic functions are done well and we provide long term economic stability for our future generations. Maintaining high quality public schools, decreasing the financial burden on Maine residents, and working toward universal healthcare are among my top priorities.
What is one way Maine is on the right track? What is one way the state is on the wrong track?
Maine is doing an excellent job of ensuring our students' needs are met at school. We were one of the first states to institute free school lunches to ensure our children are fed and now are working toward universal pre-K. I think we can do a better job of ensuring we properly invest in infrastructure planning. As we continue to grow we need to address roads, broadband access, and other needs at the same time with a more comprehensive plan.
As one of several dozen legislators in your chamber, how would you make a measurable difference for your constituents?
My greatest strength is my ability to work with a wide range of people and combine ideas. I believe that skillset will allow me to coordinate with other legislators on a wide variety of bills rather than being single issue focused. Windham is a diverse growing community that also acts as a hub for much of the Lakes Region so it’s critical to be involved in as many areas of lawmaking as possible.
