Previous Offices Held
I served the people of my district for two full 2-year terms, elected for the first time in 2022.
Top Three Priorities
Maine people need good paying jobs in the private sector. Augusta seems to be creating a trap that forces Maine people to choose between a life of welfare or a life of hard work and personal responsibility. A false choice and the wrong way. Efforts by some from both parties to bring good paying jobs to Maine is the correct path for a fulfilling life and the right path. The right way.
Why are you running?
I believe the message and the attitude I bring to Augusta is important. I am a Republican, and I am a fiscally conservative voice. However, If someone from the other party has an idea that could help the constituents that I consider extended family prosper in life I have a responsibility to listen. I go to Augusta everyday believing that hard work, personal responsibility and a morally upright civil attitude will serve my district family well.
What is one way Maine is on the right track? What is one way the state is on the wrong track?
Only working in a trusting way, even across party lines, we can weed out the good, constructive ideas from the bad ones and accomplish anything for our people. Being a legislator is a group effort and all should recognize that.
As one of several dozen legislators in your chamber, how would you make a measurable difference for your constituents?
The single most important thing Maine government can do is bring those good jobs I mentioned home to Maine. We have among the highest taxes, electricity rates and energy costs in all of America. I will work every day, with either party, to promote policies and ideas that might help correct this.
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?
