Labor and Maine's working class have been important to me since childhood, when my mother was a homemaker and my father worked factory jobs. I saw the difference in working conditions, pay, and respect on the job from employers who were unionized vs those who were not, that's why I commit to supporting the right for you to unionize at your workplace too.
For over a decade I worked within Maine's Medicaid system (MaineCare), the last 8 years as a State of Maine employee, and know first hand how much work there is to do to improve access to quality health and mental health care in Maine. A highlight of my time as a State of Maine employee was rising the ranks of leadership in my former labor union, most recently serving as Vice-president.
We are at a pivotal moment in our nation's history where we cannot sit idly by and allow those who do not value equity, justice and democracy lead at any level. I will work with the people in my district by returning your phone calls and emails, listening to your concerns, and engaging on legislation that matters to you, the people of Cornville, Madison, and Norridgewock.- We need a working class voice in Augusta that represents the many living in poverty and middle class, not the wealthy few.
- We need to continue working together to strengthen our communities by recognizing our individual equity.
- We need continued investments in direct care so our friends, neighbors, and their parents and children can thrive.
Direct Support, including childcare and residential treatment
Holding major corporations accountable for their fair tax liabilities
Reducing bureaucracy in business licencing, and other State run programming.
