Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My name is Joseph A. Campbell, and I am running for Windham's At-Large town council seat. I am an MA student in History at UMaine, I work in a nearby school district, and I live with my wife Chelsea in North Windham.

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?

• I support sustainable growth, focusing on future needs, affordable housing, and reducing congestion in North Windham. People need housing, whether that is a rental or a home to buy, and right now the need outpaces supply. As council member, I would work to fix that. If we can address runway housing costs, the property tax burden will be alleviated, at least in part, with it. I also believe that sprawl can be avoided, while still relieving some of the burden on 302. Windham is a wide space, with plenty of room for well thought out projects.
• As a council member, I will work to make sure that essential services are funded, and *not* slashed away in the service of short term tax-cuts. Affordability does not simply come from a reduced mill-rate, and any decisions need to keep the livability of the town in mind. Parks and Recreation, emergency services, and more are all things which require funding, and taking money away from them helps nobody.
• As council member, I will work to ensure representation is consider for all Windham residents; not just the most vocal, or those with the most resources. From young to old, from wealthy to struggling, there are townspeople from all walks of life, and their needs should be considered at each juncture. Transparency, accountability, and communication are necessities if we're going to have a town that works for everyone.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about affordability, especially in the housing sector. I am also passionate about Windham's need to meet demands for growth, while so many Maine communities are faced with decline. Environmental concerns, traffic, walkability, and the general transition into the future are also high priorities.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I've always been a fan of Jimmy Carter. He, to me, was a man who prioritized, community service, kindness, and rationality above all else. Even after his time as president, he dedicated the rest of his life to the wellbeing of his neighbors, and for that he deserves endless praise.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Honesty, commitment, and a willingness to communicate with your neighbors.

What legacy would you like to leave?

I would like to be seen as someone who advocated for those less fortunate than myself, and as someone who prioritized fairness and opportunity above all else. Personally, I would like to be remembered as kind.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

That would probably be the election of Barack Obama. I was about eight years old, and all I knew is that he was exciting, and promised change.
