Reason for Seeking Public Office:

I'm running for state representative because I want to make sure Bangor's voice is heard in Augusta. I want to hear from all voters in the district, regardless of party enrollment, about the issues that concern them. If elected I intend to represent us all. There are more issues that unite us as voters than divide us as party members. I am passionate about a number of issues -- especially healthcare, jobs, education, and supporting our municipalities.

We need to provide all citizens with access to affordable health care. I believe every individual deserves to stay healthy and be an active member of our society.

We also need to create an environment that provides small businesses the incentives and infrastructure to grow, without sacrificing the standard of living for all Mainers.

Additionally, I believe no society can sustain itself economically without an educated work force. If we want young people to remain in Bangor and contribute to a vibrant economy, we need to make sure that they have the means to a solid education, from pre-Kindergarten to college.

Finally, we need to ensure that the state meets its commitments by returning sales tax dollars to municipalities through revenue sharing to support local schools and community projects.
