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

I served on the Windham Town Council from 2015 to 2022. I was first elected to the Maine Senate in 2022 and re-elected in 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n

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

Protect access to quality healthcare and rights to reproductive care.\n\nValue our veterans and fight to keep veterans in their homes.\n\nFully fund our public schools to secure a better future for Maine while helping to reduce the local property tax burden.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n

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

I am honored to serve in the Maine Senate. I have written and sponsored legislation to protect our lakes and rivers, expand affordable housing, keep veterans housed, strengthen consumer protections, and support victims of trafficking. As chair of the Transportation Committee, I\u2019ve advanced modern infrastructure across Maine. I'm deeply appreciative of the trust placed in me, and with my experience, I feel more prepared than ever to keep our state the best place to live.<\/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

Maine funded essential support programs to keep veterans housed across the state. When someone has served our country, the least we can do is make sure they have a stable place to call home. I sponsored legislation that addresses real-world barriers veterans face and gives housing providers the flexibility to address them. I\u2019m glad to see my colleagues in the legislature come together to pass this critical legislation.<\/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

I'll continue to sponsor and support legislation that will improve healthcare for all Mainers. Continue to protect Maine's natural resources and environment. Ensure that our kids are safe at school, home and elsewhere. I have a history of passing legislation that protects Mainers' pocketbooks from corporations who like to take advantage of consumers.<\/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

I'll continue to protect Maine's consumers and their hard-earned money. For example, I sponsored legislation that simplifies subscription and gym membership cancellations. This saves Mainers money by letting them cancel unwanted subscriptions and memberships much more easily.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"voter_guide_candidate_first_name":"Tim","voter_guide_candidate_middle_name":"","voter_guide_candidate_last_name":"Nangle","voter_guide_candidate_suffix":"","voter_guide_candidate_race_id":11835,"voter_guide_candidate_age":60,"voter_guide_candidate_hometown":"","voter_guide_candidate_occupation":"IT support lead\/project manager","voter_guide_candidate_bio":"I\u2019ve called Windham home for nearly three decades and raised my daughter here.
