Falmouth deserves leadership that shows up,\nlistens and delivers. At a moment when our civil rights and democratic norms are under\npressure from federal policy, we need state leaders who bring urgency, diligence, and integrity to the job every day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-e44e021b wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-4-font-size\">What is one way Maine is on the right track?

In addition, the state has effectively helped to offset significant federal cuts to food assistance and access to healthcare. In terms of challenges, I am glad that legislators are addressing post-pandemic student performance, because effective K-12\neducation is critical for our state\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-e44e021b wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-4-font-size\">As one of several dozen legislators in your chamber, how would you make a measurable difference for your constituents?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-left is-style-short-red\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I take my legislative work seriously as every choice we make can impact Mainers\u2019 everyday\nlives. I work hard to identify real problems, develop solutions, and build coalitions to make\nchange. Over the past four years, I have been effective in sponsoring and passing bills that\nmake a difference for Falmouth and our state. That record \u2014 not just intentions \u2014 is what I&#039;d\nbring to a third term: legislation constituents can point to and say, &#039;that changed something for us.&#039;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-e44e021b wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-4-font-size\">Surveys show the economy is the top concern of voters.
