Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Born and raised in Scarborough, I left town to attend college and law school in Washington, D.C. My employment, public office, and volunteer roles for the last 20+ years have all been in service to this community. I’m an experienced voice and fierce advocate for Scarborough in Augusta.

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?

We need to support kids and families (fully fund public schools, affordable and accessible healthcare and early childhood care and education, investment in low or no cost higher education, and career training).The 132nd Legislature must prioritize legislation in support of affordable housing and competitive wages so Maine kids don’t need to leave the state in order to raise families and advance in their careers.The expansion of programs benefiting older Mainers is essential so they can choose whether or not they will age in place with supportive care or move to a safe, suitable living environment without costs being the biggest determining factor.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I’m particularly passionate about increasing assess to high quality early childhood care and education. It provides the essential building blocks for academic success and health later on in life.

What legacy would you like to leave?

I hope that after my time in the legislature comes to an end that it’s easier for people to live, learn, work, and age well in Maine.

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

Nearly every industry in Maine is dealing with a lack of qualified employees. In order to address the ongoing workforce crisis, we need to increase our housing stock and provide access to affordable, high quality early childhood care and education. Without access to either of these, it will be impossible to attract enough employees to fill jobs being vacated by older Mainers across the state.
