Why are you running?
I am running for this position because I really feel that I can make a difference. Many changes need to be made statewide. The first law that I would propose is to increase the Homestead Exemption to $150,000 for all homeowners, which would result in an average $1,900 in savings. Seniors over 65 receive a $300,000 exemption which would save on average $4,100 in property tax relief!
What is one way Maine is on the right track? What is one way the state is on the wrong track?
The one thing the state has going for it is the tourism industry. There are many areas, in my opinion, that the state needs to improve on —spending, accountability, fraud
As one of several dozen legislators in your chamber, how would you make a measurable difference for your constituents?
If I was to be elected, the measurable difference for me is to understand and make the proper decisions for the benefit of entire state.
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?
Balance energy; support solar responsibly (opposing clearcutting to protect Maine’s forests); include nuclear and hydro as well as expand natural gas for reliability. Cap increases on school and municipal budgets
