Deciding to run for office was a simple one. After years of working in the foreclosure preservation industry I saw the effects both the recession and the exorbitant cost of healthcare has had on our communities. Those feelings were further cemented in the last five years while helping my mother deal with the costs of living with cancer. No person should have to choose between healthcare and rent or medicine and a mortgage.
Finally, I'm running as an Independent! The past few years have been filled with vitriol, and there are many I believe who seek to keep that momentum going. Ultimately though, we have so much more in common than that which divides us. I hope you'll join me in sending a fresh perspective to Augusta this November!
- We must support working families. That means addressing affordable housing, broadband, education, child care, and health care.
- We must protect our environment. That means continuing to build and invest in renewable energy sources, reduce our carbon footprint, and build climate resilient infrastructure.
- We must look out for our most vulnerable. That means supporting our elders, improving child welfare, and supporting those impacted by the opioid crisis.
Being born in the 90's I also remember when Maine Yankee closed, when the remains of the Hesper and Luther Little were removed from the mud in Wiscasset, and when the U.S.S. Winston Churchill was launched at B.I.W., but those events pale in comparison to that fateful day in 2001.
This is a job that I still do today every November and December. The business has grown quite a bit and we now supply thousands of wreaths and other balsam goods to many in the Mid-coast including to the Woolwich Central School's eighth grade class who sell wreaths in a yearly fundraiser to support their annual trip to Washington D.C.
He was only stuck that way for what? 30 years?
On the environment, the Gulf of Maine is warming faster than almost any other body of water on Earth. This changing environment could impact our fisheries in a way we find hard to imagine today.
