Reason for Seeking Public Office:

I am running for the Legislature because, as an education professional, I bring a unique perspective to issues of economic development and increased opportunity in this state. I work with students every day who struggle to find good paying jobs after they graduate from college. Many leave Maine to find work and we cannot afford to keep losing our best and brightest.
