One time state rep. 2024, elected
Top Three Priorities
1. Lower overall tax burden on Mainers. 2. As a coach I am concerned about girls sports and maintaining its integrity. 3. Revamp Asset forfeiture process: confiscated items involving county or state agencies flow upwards to state/AG office, but should stay in local departments to help acquire technology and protective equipment.
Why are you running?
I want to help constituents with local issues like affordable housing. I also want to settle the comingling bottle bill and help people understand the tax revaluation process.
What is one way Maine is on the right track? What is one way the state is on the wrong track?
Right track: I believe Maine is full of hardworking people and produces cutting edge technologies. We have a great amount of young talent that we need to keep working here. Wrong track: we overlook a great amount of fraud is happening that is only now gaining attention.
As one of several dozen legislators in your chamber, how would you make a measurable difference for your constituents?
We need to bring forward common sense legislation that benefits all; for example master plumbers need work certification, whereas master electricians have a different standard.
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?
We have to enforce no tax on tips and no tax on overtime pay. We need a tax stabilization plan so our senior citizens can stay in their homes.
