A small business owner in Maine's outdoor recreation tourism industry, homeschool mother, Registered Maine Guide, 16yr town selectman, with degrees in engineering and MBA, I represent the heartbeat of rural Maine. As an American first candidate, I am committed to be a stateman, not a politician, who will uphold the Constitution, restore our constitutional freedoms, bring righteousness and truth back to government, and the government back to We the People. Mainers want representatives who will fight - and not go-along to get-along with- the globalist agenda and treasonous administration which are usurping government from the citizens and causing economic, social, medical, military, & cultural collapse of our society by weaponizing agencies, public policy, and unelected bureaucrats against citizens they are to serve. Clearly career politicians, like my opponents, have lost the trust of Mainers who are done with DC's political games and party politics. We cannot send "yes-men" to fight DC corruption, but a real rural Maine advocate who will lead boldly while also bringing unity to a polarized population. Having stood with the largest grassroots group in Maine history, I have support from non-Republicans who have known me as powerful & trustworthy voice against big money and big names. The support, from citizens across the state and from many grassroots organizations, is surging as Mainers are crying out for true, strong servant leaders to take our country back!

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

I will uphold our Constitution and enforce constitutional freedoms especially our 1st & 2nd amendment rights, medical and educational freedom, parental rightsI stand for Life & Safety and Law and Order: Pro-life and pro-women (Title IX rights, women's sports, bathrooms, prison cells); human safety (end child/human trafficking); restore honor to law enforcement and military for domestic tranquility and common defense; prosecute crime; stop rioting; strengthen health of militaryStrong leaders and strong national security: secure borders, secure elections, secure our critical infrastructure (steel, petroleum, food, fertilizer), energy independence and pro-American trade agreements to protect industries and jobs, secure currency. Stop treasonous spending forcing oppressive inflation, reduced economic growth and diminished national defense.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

National security issues; Secure borders, Constitutional rights, medical freedom, educating the youth for success, parental rights, domestic tranquility, common defense,

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Honesty, integrity, walking in truth, love for country and the people

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

I'm a passionate patriot with iron convictions and God-fearing principles. I am committed to walking in truth and integrity, to be bold for what is right. I love my country and I love people. I am not motivated by money, and in fact, hate evil, corruption and deceit. I am not a career politician funded by big money in DC. I am a working-class mother, business owner and rural Maine elected official who citizens can identify with to restore their confidence in government.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

First job after graduating from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute was as an Industrial Engineer at Sikorsky Aircraft. Left full time engineering to change careers.... Co-owned a year-round outdoor adventure company offering Maine whitewater, snowmobiling, ATV tours, a bed & breakfast and retail outfitter shop. Still worked parttime as an engineering consultant for ergonomic usability studies and project management.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

Exclusive power to bring charge of Impeachment; all bills for raising money originates in the House; has power to borrow money on credit, assess and collect taxes to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general well-being, to regulate trade, to establish rules for being a naturalized citizen, to establish laws on bankruptcy; to declare war, call militia and put down rebellion; support and maintain military; to coin and determine value of money, etc.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

Although it is important to have a working comprehension of the Constitution and how government is supposed to function, career politicians and the status quo contribute to the problem. Mainers and Americans have rejected the way politics has been practiced and they are crying out for real change. Ordinary citizens are stepping up to take their country back from the DC elite and establishment politicians.

What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

National security threats (Border, energy, food, American industries); CCP; Forces from within the US working to bring division and weaken America's foundational principles of freedom; an independent judiciary

What are your thoughts on term limits?

I signed the US Term Limit Amendment Pledge. Elected officials are serving their constituents not pursing a political career.

Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

Business owners, small and large, across various Maine industries such as lobster and agriculture, are suffering from big government overreach and ideological public policies and regulations that are illogical and unrealistic. Government is supposed to protect our rights, not stifle and infringe upon our businesses and livelihoods, taking taxpayer dollars to fund super-control of private business.

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

We need to repeal legislations that have caused undue tax burden and enabled government to get far bigger than it should be. We need a balanced budget amendment.
