| Collapse all
- As a young person living in Kennebunk, I have a unique view on Maine's population crises. I want to stay in Maine and build a life here. Current policies make that future difficult to achieve.
- For there to be increased opportunities for young people like me to live, work, raise a family, and be secure and safe in our later years, we must play a role in developing and advocating policies that are in the best interests of every generation.
- I believe municipalities and communities are the best decision makers. On most policy issues, Augusta is not fit to tell Kennebunkers how their town should be run. If community is to be preserved, home rule must be protected.
-Preserving local control of town ordinances and transparency in our schools
-Protecting vulnerable seniors by prioritizing funding for nursing homes and long-term care facilities
-Reducing taxes and regulations to encourage individuals and businesses to remain in Maine and to consider relocating here
-Supporting Maine’s fishing and lobstering industries
-Addressing our addiction crisis by increasing access to the most effective strategies for recovery
