Issues
Heavey submitted the following statement to Ballotpedia regarding his political philosophy:[2]
| “ |
I consider myself to be a Conservative Democrat. I believe in self reliance, I believe in the free market, I am familiar with Miton Friedmans book "Capitalism and Freedom". As a planning board chairman I looked to intent and purpose. I believe in the Maine and the U.S constitution. We are here to form a more perfect union, Provide for the common defense and Promote the general welfare, while securing the blessings of Liberty. I believe that the LePage agenda has been far too divisive. I also feel that district three has been poorly represented. I believe in Government as a facilitator. I do not believe that we can "Cheap Ourselves into Prosperity" I believe that we need to develop our own God given resources and our God given talents. All have something to contribute. I would enjoy working with Mike Michaud or Eliot Cutler..Working people should not be voting Republican and the Democratic party should return to it's roots in Labor. [3] |
