Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I was born and raised in the Greater Portland area as a third generation Italian American whose maternal great grandparents immigrated from Italy and settled in Portland. I graduated from the University of Southern Maine with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Leadership & Organizational Studies. For decades, my life has been focused around family, hard work, and serving the community through various boards and projects. I am a business owner, a nonprofit founder, a community service organizer, and have vast knowledge and experience working with children and families. As a small business leader, I believe that integrity and financial discipline are necessary and valuable assets not only in business but in government.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• HELP SMALL BUSINESSES: Maine has over 147,000 small businesses employing 57% of the workforce; many of which are struggling. Protecting and helping small business benefits everyone.
• SUPPORT CHILDREN & FAMILIES: It's time to prioritize important issues affecting Maine's children and families, as well as our seniors, our veterans, children in foster care, and individuals struggling with mental illness. It is our responsibility to make sound decisions that will positively impact those who are underserved and overlooked.
• FOCUS ON BIPARTISAN SOLUTIONS: When there is too much division no one wins. It's time to set aside differences and put Maine families and small businesses at the heart of our decision-making.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Public policy issues are all important. Those that I am most concerned with right now is the current state and future of Maine's economy and small businesses, the education of Maine's children, the support and care of Maine's foster children, the need for affordable healthcare, ready access to inpatient and outpatient mental health services, increasing women's reproductive choices, making adoption more affordable for families, protecting Maine's natural resources, and being responsible with taxpayer's money by keeping a balanced budget without overspending.

Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org. Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.
