Nov 2025 Augusta City Council, Ward 3, lost.
Top Three Priorities
Fight for good wages and strong benefits for state workers, teachers and first responders. Lower housing costs by supporting builders to increase the number of affordable housing units, allowing residents to live where they work. Encouraging the revitalization of our transportation infrastructure especially our roads, freight, and passenger rail system to provide public transportation and ease the transportation of finished wood products and other manufactured goods nationwide
Why are you running?
I met many residents during my city council campaign who were concerned with rising costs, lack of infrastructure improvements, and the need to support those at risk of or experiencing homelessness. These are all issues that are best handled at the state level. I understand the challenges our neighbors are facing and can bring their concerns to the State House.
What is one way Maine is on the right track? What is one way the state is on the wrong track?
Maine has been a leader in raising minimum wage, strengthening worker protections, instituting paid family leave, feeding children at school and protecting natural resources. Maine has fallen behind in building housing for families, maintaining and expanding public transportation and with energy prices that are among the highest in the country. Far too often, people in central Maine are forced to work hours from where they live because they cannot support themselves while staying close to home.
As one of several dozen legislators in your chamber, how would you make a measurable difference for your constituents?
My time in the Navy taught me a great deal about problem-solving and working as part of a team and this campaign has allowed me to hear from voters across Senate District 15. As senator, I would be accessible and responsive to the needs of the constituents and work to bring their concerns to the state house.
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?
Property tax relief, capping profits to our electricity providers, and building a sustainable economy that utilizes our natural resources can help lower the cost of living, strengthen our local economy in central Maine and make it possible to live close to family and work.
