Statement: I have loved this community for as long as I can remember. It is the most beautiful place I have ever been, and it is home to the most generous and caring people that I know. I have always looked for ways to help support my community and running for public office is one way I can continue to serve my friends and neighbors. There are a number of issues that I see as important to the vitality of the district, and the state as a whole. There is an urgent need for affordable housing options for working families and folks living on fixed incomes. Access to high-quality and affordable child care and support for those who are looking to provide it is another. Enhancing our public schools and supporting teachers, and everyone who provides public services, will help strengthen our communities. We need increased mental health services, including access to rehabilitation and detox services. We must continue to ensure Mainers have access to abortion services. And we need to work together to preserve the natural beauty of our region and our state.
Please reach out with other concerns and issues you think are important. I am eager to listen and learn about how I can best represent you all. Thank you.
