Top Three Priorities
More jobs, lower costs, new innovative ideas that will help Maine.
Why are you running?
I enjoy working to get good specific results (documentation at www.seanfaircloth.com). I want to get more good specific results.
What is one way Maine is on the right track? What is one way the state is on the wrong track?
Those born to significant wealth must pay more of their fair share. Working people must get paid more for their work. We’ve made progress. We must make more progress.
As one of several dozen legislators in your chamber, how would you make a measurable difference for your constituents?
What I did in the past and what I’ll do again is read and read until I come upon ideas that help average Mainers. Importantly, I’d listen to both constituents – and colleagues. I’d work to build teams of constituents and legislators to create good policy. I have succeeded in the past by learning, then organizing, then succeeding. Economic justice is my #1 priority.
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?
Increase labor rights and worker pay. Require corporations, those with major inherited wealth or sky-high corporate salaries to pay a fair share of taxes. Invest in increasing affordable housing.
