| Collapse all
Joshua loves spending time by the water, in the woods, or near a racetrack. He loves and appreciates the nature, the landscapes, and the animals in Maine.
Joshua is a born again believer and has been for nearly 20 years of his life. He enjoys going to Church on Sunday and reading his Bible regularly.
Joshua wants to bridge the divide in Augusta so that each night Mainers don't have to go to bed worried about what reckless policy the state pushed through the day before. He believes that Republicans and Democrats are so focussed on battling against one another that they aren't reasoning with each other. He's a compassionate and patriotic American who believes that everyone should have the same rights and opportunities. Regardless of what happens in the coming elections, Joshua asks that we all pray for our state and our nation's leaders.- Cutting Taxes Joshua aims to eliminate Maine state income tax by fiscal year 2027. With lower taxes, households can allocate more of their earnings toward building wealth; whether through homeownership, education, retirement savings, investments, or whatever else they choose to do with their money. This increased flexibility not only enhances their present quality of life, but also creates opportunities for long-term economic stability and upward mobility.
- Affordable Housing Joshua believes that reckless money printing and excessive state and federal spending is the cause for rampant inflation. Joshua will take all measures necessary to combat inflation and protect Maine families. Joshua will encourage developments within suburban parts of Maine to help naturally cultivate a greater supply of available homes and apartments. This will help to alleviate housing demand in this "affordable housing" crisis.
- Second Amendment Joshua undeniably supports the right of the second amendment to keep and bear arms and the ability to maintain a well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state. He will work hard to ensure these rights shall not be infringed. He himself is a passionate supporter and user of Maine’s constitutional carry as a means to protect all who are around him and his family.
Joshua believes in protecting and respecting Maine Veterans. He seeks to eliminate tolls for Maine Veterans on I-95, as they shouldn’t have to pay anymore than they already have for this country. Joshua believes funding mental health resources across rural Maine should be viewed as a necessity and implemented as a top priority. Maine Veterans also shouldn't have to go without housing at any point after their service. Let's work together to help those who sacrificed for us.
