I’ve spent my career in the labor movement fighting alongside working people to secure good-paying jobs, affordable healthcare, great public schools, and a path to a better future. As your School Board Chair, I’ve led with a commitment to providing every student in our community with the world-class public education they deserve.
As your Representative in Augusta, I’ll fight every day to make life more affordable for you, to strengthen our schools, to support the small businesses that power our communities, and to defend our freedoms against the attacks coming from Washington.
If elected, I have the leadership and experience to start delivering for you on day one.- I believe that if you work in Camden and Rockport, you should be able to afford to live in Camden and Rockport. That’s becoming impossible as rising costs push people out of our communities. I will fight for vibrant communities where people can live, work, raise families, and thrive. I understand these challenges because I’ve been in the thick of it for decades. I’ve served in and understand how state government works, and I will bring this experience to deliver the solutions and relief you need. I'll focus on making housing, healthcare, and childcare more affordable. I'll advocate for good union jobs and to lower utility costs and the property tax burden. And I'll work to make it easier to start and sustain a small business.
- I've fought for the schools that kids, families, and teachers deserve as a leader with the American Federation of Teachers and the Maine DOE and as School Board Chair. Growing up in a dangerous home with parents facing severe addiction and mental health issues, it was my public schools and teachers who made me who I am. I want to make sure those same opportunities exist for every student. During my two terms on our School Board and as Chair, we’ve expanded hands-on and outdoor learning opportunities, created the state’s first nature-based pre-k program, strengthened our innovation center, committed to vibrant athletic and performing arts programs, banned phones, and focused on providing students with multiple pathways for them to succeed
- The Trump administration has abandoned working people while targeting states like Maine and attacking our basic rights and freedoms. State Houses are the first line of defense against federal overreach, and we need representatives in Augusta who will fight Trump's cruel agenda to strengthen our democracy and protect our rights. I’ve never shied away from a bully, and I don’t intend to start now.
I’ll advocate for additional state education funding and to fix a funding formula that unfairly burdens coastal communities like ours, for additional investments in Career and Technical Education and the trades, for universal pre-K, and for free community college. I’ll fight to invest in educators.
