I have worked closely with the Maine Bureau of Highway Safety for 23 years as a Child Passenger Safety Instructor; educating first responders, transportation providers, medical professionals, child care providers, parents, children, as well as the general public on safe transportation practices to help protect everyone while traveling on our roads. Besides providing education throughout Maine, I have been an active participant in all of the occupant protection laws enacted during the last 20 years. My husband and I have owned & operated Perreault & Daughters Construction in the Brunswick for 19 years. I was a member of the Brunswick School Board for 18 years. My family supports countless community organizations, athletic teams, and performing arts groups and I have volunteered hundreds of hours in Brunswick schools, for the town, and throughout the state. I live by the motto that we are at our best when we work to help each other.
- I fully support and will fight to implement Universal Healthcare.
- I am committed to the state honor their 55% commitment of school funding, to stop the continuous push down of education costs to the local property tax payers.
- I support real job creation and will strive to create more good quality, high paying jobs through both educational/business partnerships in more regions of the state. and providing grants/no cost loans to increase vocational opportunities.
Education - I spent 18 years as a member of the Brunswick School Board and fully believe an quality school department benefits the entire community. I also am passionate about meeting every child's education needs. We must learn from the successful education examples around the world and provide the best education possible to our children.
Transportation Safety/Occupant Protection - For 23 years I have devoted my self to educating the entire state on the importance of car seats and seat belts. Car crashes are a leading cause of death in America and with proper use of car seats and seat belts we could prevent thousands of deaths each year. Education is one of the leading ways to change behavior and save lives.
I look up to my Aunt Linda (Linda McMahon) who showed me how important it is to give of your time to your community. She devoted countless hours to the Freeport Rotary and Pownal Volunteer Fire Department before retiring to Florida where she immediately began servicing her new community. Not enough people give of their time and their talents, for many reasons, so it is vital for those of us who can to do so. Since I left the School Board in December of 2018 I have been looking for new ways to give back to my community. I hope that I have the opportunity beginning in January of 2021 to do so as Maine House District 49 Representative.
Also, I have always admired & respected Olympia Snowe, William Cohen, George Mitchell, Angus King, and Margaret Chase Smith. They all have served in Washington, ensured Maine's voice was heard, and worked with the other members of Congress regardless of their party. That is a huge priority for me.
