Reason for Seeking Public Office:

"As a parent, grandparent, small businessman, and a member of the community, I have seen first-hand the impact state policies have on our schools, our economy and Maine's towns. I want to be part of the effort to put Maine on the right track with common sense solutions to problems we face. With my background, I know I can be an effective voice for the people of Somerset County."
