After putting herself through high school when her mom left her to move to Ohio, Adrienne graduated from the New England School of Communications in Bangor. She gave birth to her daughter Katie during her final semester in college and set out working 3 jobs to make ends meet. Adrienne spent the better part of a decade at WABI Channel 5 in Bangor, rising through the ranks from executive producer to videographer to Central Maine Bureau Chief.
In 2010, she was approached by newly-elected Governor Paul R. LePage to serve as his Press Secretary for seven years. She embraced the opportunity to spread LePage's commonsense message of economic growth and fiscal responsibility. She has worked as Vice President of a Maine bank and now is a Realtor helping Mainers realize the dream of home ownership.- Put Mainers and Americans FIRST
- Secure our borders
- Defend our rights and support our economic growth
We are grateful for President Trump's work in securing our borders. As your Representative, Adrienne will fight alongside the President in ensuring our communities are safe and our borders are secure. She will support our Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency and ensure those who travel here legally have the opportunity to go through the immigration process efficiently and successfully.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Maine's economy focuses heavily on trade and exports of our goods and natural resources. In 2018, Maine exported $1.5 billion in goods to Canada and Mexico, from fish and marine resources to oil and natural gas. The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement is a crucial agreement that President Trump has successfully negotiated. Adrienne fully supports this agreement and will fight for more economic successes and trade agreements like it in the House of Representatives.
INVESTING IN RURAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Broadband has quickly gone from a luxury to a necessity for success in today's economy. There are too many underserved areas in Maine without proper infrastructure to support the broadband capabilities we must have for our small businesses, school systems and various industries. Adrienne will be on the front lines fighting for more federal funding and more public-private partnerships to bring middle- and last-mile projects to Maine.
2ND AMENDMENT
Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public.
