Statement: Lindsey Harwath is running to offer voters a choice outside of the normal bounds of two corporate parties. Lindsey is a farmer, wife and mother of four, not a career politician. She sees politicians who act in the interest of profit over people and short-term gains over the long-term health of our communities and environment as our greatest challenge. Lindsey is running to offer an alternative future for Maine — one where houses are homes, not assets, where we recognize that poverty is an avoidable reality and where workers are empowered to create better futures for their families. Lindsey will lead in the State House with compassion and understanding.
