Why are you running?
After 10 years in the service, I have seen what it takes to stand up in the most difficult of times. I have also seen the impact of poor leadership and lack of awareness or representation from people who claim to do so. I am ready to step up for my community and into the responsibility of providing a foundation for my neighbors.
What is one way Maine is on the right track? What is one way the state is on the wrong track?
In Maine, food is a constitutional right, and we're treating agricultural PFAS contamination as a systemic state disaster. Maine addresses issues head on. We cut opioid overdoses in half. Here's where Maine is falling short. We are doing great work with food sovereignty, but there is no food available. We have PFAS legislation, but we don’t work to remedy the business people have lost. We save lives, but our unhoused crisis is worsening because we lack the support infrastructure.
As one of several dozen legislators in your chamber, how would you make a measurable difference for your constituents?
I would listen to their most important needs from a legislative body, then use my knowledge of the legislature and team collaboration to make it happen. That alone is different, because most legislators are disconnected from their neighbors and don’t ask constituents what they need.
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?
Maine should strengthen consumer protections. The state should hold insurance agencies accountable for neglect of consumer concerns. If a customer calls their insurance about something that could cause damage, like a tree, and cannot front the bill, companies should offer incentives to remedy the problem before a claim is filed. If the company ignores the customer, they should not have to pay the rebate on repairs.
