  • Sustainable Communities is my operational philosophy. Nature has Rights to exist and flourish. If we respect and protect it by creating jobs in converting to solar micro grids and tidal electricity generation, we will keep clean water and air, and food for all. The Governor's Economic Recovery Committee recommendations to stabilize the economy and prepare for life in and beyond COVID-19 must be scrutinized in light of the Governor's Climate Council Initiatives to produce sustainable practices . There is no sense in returning to a system that perpetrates the conditions for pandemics to occur.
  • Climate Change Emergency exists. COVID-19 is a result of it. Both must be dealt with simultaneously and systematically. Supporting the Maine Climate Council Initiatives will accomplish this by creating jobs, providing Food Security, and Public Transportation in electric vehicles.
  • Restorative Practices in all facets of human activity must be funded to create jobs that transform violence to peaceful coexistence.
