Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My name is Jonathan Reed Fallon, though most of my friends call me J.R. I am a blessed dad to three wonderful young children, a grateful husband to a brilliant and beautiful wife who is an accomplished writer and educator in her own right, the proud son of a single mother, and a humbled fourth-generation service member. I have served 14+ years in the U.S. Air Force and presently serve in the reserve as a JAG officer. I am also the part owner of a small business in Kennebunk.

Coalition Building: Augusta needs both center-left and center-right voices now more than ever. I am running to turn down the temperature and focus on practical, commonsense solutions.Cost of Living: Affordability is not a slogan — it is the difference of whether or not Maine families can pay the bills. I am running to lower the cost of living and improve the quality of life we work hard for.Education in an AI-Dominated World: I will stand with our teachers by supporting higher pay and ensuring they have the training needed to lead students in an AI-dominated world, because the reality is, AI is here to stay. But as a father of three young children, I believe we must also ensure our students can think critically, stand on their feet, and clearly articulate their ideas.
