Previous Offices Held<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Unsuccessfully sought House District 151 seat in 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n

Top Three Priorities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Real disability rights, animal rights, senior citizen rights, including preservation, peace and progress without taking the life or well-being of any creature. Progress in maintaining good health via organic clean plant-based and sea life vegan-based diets so as to limit the need for medical help or medications.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n

Why are you running?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

I must run and state my honorable platforms whether I win or not by getting the ideas circulated for a more healthy, sane and peaceful world of peace without destruction or violence for all species, not just the human sort.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n

What is one way Maine is on the right track? What is one way the state is on the wrong track?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Right track: Housing and other grants given to low-income senior citizens to remain in their own homes and able to pass it onto who they wish and not be forced out because of poverty or need for home repairs. Wrong track: It's wrong & disastrous to destroy nature and wildlife for more housing units when repurposing developed areas is sensible. It's wrong not to better preserve and conserve our water supply and treat it like gold.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n

As one of several dozen legislators in your chamber, how would you make a measurable difference for your constituents?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

It appears logical I could successfully grasp and make a difference of sorts since I know the outstanding issues of my district. Kittery and "the Point" are two different worlds, yet our shared environment is desperately in need of conservation and preservation. I would attend all Legislature sessions possible; encourage, receive and read constituents' questions and suggestions; and answer each with gratitude for our communication in participating in this fine American way towards evolution and peace for all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n

Surveys show the economy is the top concern of voters. What is a specific proposal addressing Maine voters\u2019 economic anxieties that you\u2019d work to make law?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

With being heard and not interrupted or challenged without given time to relate, in full, I can offer new ideas and ways to progress peace, better health and preservation of Maine's open spaces, flora, woods, oceans, lakes, wildlife, ocean life, sky and onward to true human civilization.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12811,"template":"","meta":{"voter_guide_candidate_first_name":"Suzanne","voter_guide_candidate_middle_name":"","voter_guide_candidate_last_name":"Johnson","voter_guide_candidate_suffix":"","voter_guide_candidate_race_id":11736,"voter_guide_candidate_age":83,"voter_guide_candidate_hometown":"","voter_guide_candidate_occupation":"Lifelong vegan artist, civil rights activist, animal rights advocate, disability rights advocate and senior citizen rights advocate","voter_guide_candidate_bio":"Single parent constantly working to preserve what's left of Kittery's destroyed environment, especially ancient trees and architecture.","voter_guide_candidate_education":"University of Miami, University of Mexico and University of Hawaii, working for civil rights and animal rights","voter_guide_candidate_years_in_municipality":"","voter_guide_candidate_headshot_url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=1KLczcD0EDfE8ZrqwBtRNZZgFMsIJ0VS3","voter_guide_candidate_date_filed":"","footnotes":""},"vg_party":[564],"vg_residence_municipality":[],"class_list":["post-11737","candidate","type-candidate","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","vg_party-republican"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stage.pressherald.com\/voter-guide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/candidates\/11737","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stage.pressherald.com\/voter-guide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/candidates"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stage.pressherald.com\/voter-guide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/candidate"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stage.pressherald.com\/voter-guide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/candidates\/11737\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11738,"href":"https:\/\/stage.pressherald.com\/voter-guide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/candidates\/11737\/revisions\/11738"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stage.pressherald.com\/voter-guide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stage.pressherald.com\/voter-guide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"vg_party","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stage.pressherald.com\/voter-guide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vg_party?post=11737"},{"taxonomy":"vg_residence_municipality","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stage.pressherald.com\/voter-guide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vg_residence_municipality?post=11737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
